Ingredients

3 bunches curly parsley, finely chopped

6 Tbsp finely chopped fresh garlic

2 cups extra virgin olive oil

1 cup white vinegar

Salt and pepper to taste

beef tenderloin

Preparation

Combine all ingredients and let sit at least 2 hours before serving. It is excellent on all grilled meats, especially the churrasco. Yield: 3 cups.

Trim all visible fat and gristle from a fresh beef tenderloin. Cut out a 4" portion from the center. With a sharp knife, starting from one side, carve it in a jelly-roll fashion. Baste in chimichurri sauce (recipe follows), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Grill on a very hot fire to desired degree of doneness. (Note: A slow fire will dry the churrasco because it is extremely low in fat content.)
