Instructions

1
Finely chop the parsley, garlic, and fresh oregano by hand. Hand chopping gives the sauce a better texture than blending.
2
Combine the herbs, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
3
Stir in the red wine vinegar and optional lemon juice.
4
Slowly stir in the olive oil until evenly combined. Chimichurri should remain loose and spoonable, not emulsified like mayonnaise.
5
Let stand for at least 20 to 30 minutes before serving so the flavors can meld. Taste and adjust salt, vinegar, or heat.
