JIMMY CHIMICHURRI – Classic | Argentinian Herb Sauce | 200g

The green sauce that runs the asado

This is Argentina's answer to the question every good steak asks: what does this need? Made by a Byron Bay asador who grew up cooking over fire, Jimmy Chimichurri is a fresh, garlicky, herb-loaded sauce built to cut through rich, charred meat — the one jar a serious griller reaches for again and again.

The flavour

Fresh parsley leads, bright and green. Garlic and oregano fill the middle, savoury and aromatic, before red wine vinegar brings a clean, tangy lift and a whisper of chilli rounds off the finish. The sunflower-oil base carries it all without ever turning heavy — zingy, herby and moreish.

How to cook with it

• Spoon it generously over a rested grilled steak or picanha — the vinegar cuts the richness like nothing else.
• Toss it through roast potatoes or grilled vegetables straight out of the oven while they're still hot.
• Use it as an overnight marinade for lamb or chicken before it hits the grill.
• Stir a spoonful through mayo for a herby burger or sandwich sauce — rogue, but it works.
• Drizzle over grilled sourdough or the whole asado spread as a dip.

In the jar

A loose, vivid-green herb sauce — flecks of parsley and oregano suspended in oil, garlic visible throughout, both pourable and spoonable. Give it a stir before serving; the good stuff settles.

The Rub Smuggler's Verdict

Every asado needs a green sauce standing guard, and this is the one I'd run past customs. Season the beef first with Coast N Smoke Bahia Barrels for a proper churrasco crust, then let this fresh, garlicky chimi cut clean through it. For the Sunday roast, a swipe of Tracklements Strong Horseradish Cream alongside earns its keep. One rule: spoon it on after the meat rests, never before.
