Laced with saffron threads and paprika, this variation on a traditional Argentine sauce spices up grilled skirt steak.

This recipe comes from the delicious Miami Beach Party Menu created by one of the most exciting Latin chefs working today.

Red Chimichurri
  • 1 medium Spanish onion , minced
  • 1 tsp. saffron threads
  • 1/2 cup olive oil

  • 1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 1 Tbsp. sweet paprika
  • 1 clove garlic , minced
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
