In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Chimichurri Sauce. This is a relish that originated in Argentina and is great when served with beef steak or roast.

My inspiration for making Chimichurri was the trip my husband, Rick, and I made to our alma mater, Eastern Kentucky University, where we had lunch in Cafe Burrier. The entree serve was Beef Medallions with Chimichurri Sauce. We found the relish to be a wonderful combination of herbs and seasonings.
