Churrasco with Chimichurri
- 2 bunches curly parsley (8 ounces), thick stems discarded
- 1/3 cup garlic cloves, crushed
- 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 2 pounds trimmed center-cut beef tenderloin
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground pepper
- In a food processor, combine the parsley and garlic with the 3/4 cup of olive oil and the vinegar and pulse until smooth.
- Refrigerate the chimichurri for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
- Using a sharp chefs knife, make a 1/4-inch, lengthwise cut in the top of the tenderloin.
- Turning the tenderloin and rolling it out as you go, spiral-cut the meat until you have a long, rectangular piece about 1/4 inch thick.
- Light a grill.
- Season both sides of the tenderloin with salt and pepper.
- Rub all but one-third of the chimichurri over the meat and grill over moderately high heat, turning once, about 4 minutes for medium-rare meat; let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the remaining chimichurri and olive oil.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve with the steak.
