No tales to tell on this one.  Chimichurri is traditionally used on grilled meats & the idea of that combo makes me want to start eating steak again.  But – I will not.  I will just find other uses for this EASY & delicious sauce.  It is so pretty, too.  Later – I will post a dish that incorporates using this stuff.
