Great recipe, didn't have pasilla peppers so I used a fresh jalapeno instead and it worked just fine. I would suggest doubling the recipe for chimichurri and saving some to use as a sandwich spread the next day.

A GREAT marinade for beef, and coupled with skirt steak, it's a staple on my grill. You can't beat it.

Very good. Used a Blade Steak which came out very tender and the Chimichurri sauce was very tasty. Next time think I would cut back slightly on the garlic and oregano and use a skirt steak or tri-tip. Would be great served over a rice.
