Herby and colorful, chimichurri is a traditional Argentinian sauce. It\u2019s great on venison but can also nicely complement grilled fish, chicken, and beef. Alternatively, use this chimichurri as a marinade and let the venison marinate for a few hours or overnight.<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\nFour to six 6 ounce venison steaks<\/p>\n

Chimichurri<\/strong>
\n1 cup chopped cilantro
\n1 cup chopped parsley
\n1 tablespoon jalape\u00f1o pepper
\n\u00bd teaspoon oregano
\n1 cup extra virgin avocado oil
\n1 lemon, juiced
\n\u00bd teaspoon kosher salt<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong> Prep and measure out all of the ingredients. Then in a bowl, mix together the cilantro, parsley, jalape\u00f1o pepper, oregano, extra virgin avocado oil, lemon juice, and kosher salt. Set that sauce mixture aside.<\/p>\n

On a prepping area, coat each side of the steaks with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

Using a nonstick cooking pan, heat the oil to medium-high heat. Then cook each side for 8-10 minutes each or until an internal temperature of medium rare (140\u00b0F) and let rest. It\u2019s best to cook venison to medium so the meat doesn\u2019t dry out and it will enhance the flavor.<\/p>\n

On a cutting block, slice the steak into thin sections. Serve with the chimichurri sauce on top.<\/p>\n
