How To Make Bonefish Grill’s Chimichurri Sauce

Step Two: Slowly whisk in the olive oil until the sauce is well-blended and smooth. Taste the chimichurri and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed.

Step Three: Allow the sauce to sit for about 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld together. Drizzle over grilled meats, seafood, or vegetables, and enjoy!

Bonefish Grill’s Chimichurri Sauce Recipe Tips

• Use Fresh Ingredients – Fresh herbs and garlic make a huge difference in flavor. Try to use fresh parsley and garlic for the best results.
• Adjust to Your Taste – Feel free to modify the amount of red pepper flakes for more or less spice. You can also add extra lemon juice if you like a tangier sauce.
• Let It Sit – Allow the chimichurri to rest for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and develop.
• Use High-Quality Olive Oil – Since olive oil is a key ingredient, use a high-quality extra virgin olive oil for a rich, smooth texture.
• Customize the Herbs – If you don’t have flat-leaf Italian parsley, you can substitute with cilantro for a different flavor profile. Just keep in mind it will change the taste.
