How to Use Chimichurri: Ideas Beyond the Steak

22 août 2026Chimmy's Sauce Company

Chimichurri is best known as a steak sauce, but it's one of the most versatile condiments in the fridge. Here's how to get more out of a jar of CHIMMY'S Chimichurri.

As a marinade

Coat chicken thighs, bavette steak or lamb shoulder in chimichurri and leave to marinate for at least 30 minutes (up to 4 hours in the fridge for deeper flavour) before grilling, roasting or barbecuing. Try it in our Chimichurri Chicken Wraps or Bavette Steak Salad.

As a spread or butter

Mix softened butter with chimichurri and a pinch of sea salt for an instant flavoured butter — delicious on a warm baguette. See our Chimichurri Butter Baguette recipe.

As a dressing base

Blend chimichurri with Greek yoghurt for a quick sauce for fish, or with tinned white beans and orange juice for a smoky purée — as in our Charred Broccoli Steaks recipe.

As a glaze

Combine chimichurri with miso paste and a little maple syrup to glaze roasted vegetables, as in our Miso Aubergine recipe.

As a breakfast topper

A spoonful on a bacon and egg bap adds instant freshness — try our Bacon & Egg Bap recipe.

As a bolognese or lasagne addition

Our Smoky BBQ Chimichurri is also a great addition to a bolognese sauce or lasagne for extra depth.
