Chimichurri:

1 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, firmly packed
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons fresh oregano
¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 shallot, finely chopped
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Directions:

1. Stir the chimichurri ingredients together in a bowl, cover with plastic and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
