Argentina’s answer to ketchup, the vinegary herb mélange known as Chimichurri is a must to serve with grilled meats.  But it’s also a fantastic marinade – after a few hours marinating in Chimichurri, hangar steak is moist and flavorful, especially on the grill.  Serve steak alongside a refreshing Herbed Tomato Salad (recipe below) plus extra Chimichurri for dipping.
