Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped fresh parsley and cilantro. Ensure they are as finely minced as possible for the best texture and flavor dispersion in your Chimichurri Sauce Recipe.
Step 2: Add the minced garlic to the bowl with the herbs. For maximum flavor, use a garlic press or finely chop by hand.
Step 3: Stir in the red wine vinegar, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix everything thoroughly to combine the dry ingredients and allow the herbs to start marinating in the vinegar.
Step 4: Slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil, whisking continuously until the Chimichurri Sauce Recipe is well emulsified and all ingredients are evenly distributed. The sauce should be vibrant green with specks of red.
Step 5: Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. You might want more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes depending on your preference for this Chimichurri Sauce Recipe.
Step 6: For the best flavor, cover the bowl and let the Chimichurri Sauce Recipe sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. You can also refrigerate it for up to an hour if making ahead, then bring it back to room temperature before serving.
