Chimichurri can be prepared earlier than needed, and refrigerated for 24 hours, if needed.
Use to baste meats (chicken or steaks) while grilling or barbecuing. We dont use it as a marinade, but choose to baste our meats with chimichurri instead. However, you can use it as a marinade if you wish. Also add a couple of tablespoons over your steak to serve.
