Preparation
Step 1
\ Some people add peppers, spices, lime juice, cilantro, white onion, and on and on and on. All I did was blend up all of the ingredients in my
Vitamix Blender
Add all ingredients except for oil to a blender or food processor.
Turn blender/processor on a low speed to chop the ingredients.
Slowly add the oil while the machine is on.
Pour chimichuri sauce into a jar and seal to use for up to 1 week or use immediately on a big beefy burger.
To Make the Chimichuri Beef Sliders
Place the ground beef in a mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons of chimichuri sauce. Use your hands to massage the sauce into the beef, making sure it is well distributed.
Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high. Form small patties out of the beef and place them on the skillet.
Flip to the other side and cook an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute before adding the pepper jack cheese. Continue to cook to desired done-ness or until cheese is melted.
Make sliders by compiling the mixed greens, slider patties, and avocado and drizzle chimichuri sauce on top!
