London Broil with Chimichurri Sauce
In my house, it is always grilling season. For my husband’s birthday many years ago, we visited Argentinean steak house and he ordered the London Broil with Chimichurri Sauce, very rare. He loved the taste, so of course, I had to make the sauce at home.
We use our Charcoal Grill at least once a week. We just love the way chicken, beef, pork, shrimp tastes on the charcoal Barbi (Tez, that’s for you)!
Chimichurri Sauce is a green sauce and is very reminiscent of a Gaucho Grill or Argentinean restaurant. Chimichurri Sauce was made popular in Argentina and Brazil and Ecuador each came up with their own versions.

Add in all the ingredients and process until combined. Make sure you don’t puree the sauce, as you will want to see pieces of green in the sauce.
Marinate Meat in Chimichurri Sauce Overnight
Take a Ziploc bag and place the meat inside and pour in the Chimichurri Sauce. Marinate the meat in the refrigerator overnight.
Direct Heat on Hot Coals
Take the meat out of the refrigerator one hour before cooking.
Prepare your Charcoal Grill for direct cooking. If you are using a Gas Grill, turn it on.
London Broil on Charcoal Grill
Remove the meat from the Ziploc bag and shake off any excess sauce and then place it on the Charcoal Grill. We like our beef very rare. This is a very thick London Broil, which is cooked for ten minutes.
Flip the London Broil after Ten Minutes
Here is where you decide how you want your meat cooked. We only eat our beef rare, so just about 8 more minutes on the second side.
We like our beef at about 120 degrees. If you use a Digital Meat Thermometer, remember that the meat will continue to cook during the 10 minute rest.
Rare London Broil with Chimichurri Sauce
Once cooked, lay the steak on a clean cutting board, and allow it to rest for 10 minutes before slicing the meat. Make sure to cut thin slices and cut against the grain. Pour over the reserved Chimichurri Sauce.
London Broil with Chimichurri Sauce and Mashed Potatoes
This is great served with Creamy Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Butternut Squash Risotto, or rice and with a green vegetable.
