We were looking for a green sauce similar to what we'd had in Uruguay. This isn't it, but the salsa verde is very good. Made half-recipe and served with filet of beef cooked on the George Foreman. Served with baked Idaho wedges and Bogle old-vine Zin. Very good.
Broiled Flank Steak with Salsa Verde
This piquant green sauce makes a great accompaniment to broiled or grilled pork, or steamed white fish. A little goes a long way, so use it sparingly. Serve with roasted potato wedges.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 3 ounces steak and about 1 tablespoon salsa)
