My favourite dish from Argentina!

This is such a simple and tasty dish. The flavours are delicious and add that gourmet touch. Argentinians really know how to cook their meat and this lamb dish is fantastic. Truly the best lamb dish we ever made.
*I bought  free range lamb steaks* Feel free to substitute this recipe with Beef or Bison.


Lamb Steaks with Chimichurri Sauce




Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 4


Ingredients:
4 (4-ounce) lambsteaks; 3/4 inch think
1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1/3 cupfresh parsley leaves
2 cloves garlic peeled
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried Oregano

1 tablespoon of mint

1 tablespoon of chives
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Heat grill or grill pan to high. Rub lamb chops with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill 3 minutes per side for medium-rare. Remove from heat, cover loosely with foil, and allow meat to rest.
While lamb is resting, combine remaining oil, parsley, garlic, lemon juice, oregano, and chives and mint in a food processor. Pulse to combine until just pureed. Season with salt and pepper and serve with lamb.

**I served the dish with saffron rice and green beans which I fried with garlic and olive oil.**
