- 1/4 c. minced flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tsp dry oregano
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp freshly-grnd black pepper
- 2 x bay leaves
- 1/4 c. corn oil
- 1 c. red wine vinegar
Directions
- * Note: Aji molido (Argentine coarsely grnd chile pwdr) is available at specialty markets and some supermarkets.
- For the Chimichurri: Mix ingredients together and place in a glass jar with tight-fitting lid. Let age 1 to 3 days.
- Light the barbecue, mounding most of the coals to one side to create hotter and cooler areas. If using a kettle type with non-adjustable grate, make two piles of coals at the sides, leaving center as an indirect heat cooking area.
- When coals are ashen and glowing (about 30 to 40 min after lighting), roast peppers over hottest part of fire till they are blackened on all sides. Remove them to a plate and cover with dish towel to allow steam to loosen skin. When cold sufficient to handle, peel and seed peppers. Cut peppers into inch-wide slices and place in a shallow serving dish. Pour the extra virgin olive oil over peppers and sprinkle with garlic, tucking some in between layers of peppers. (Peppers may be made several hrs ahead, on a grill or possibly under broiler close to heat source.)
- Meanwhile, rub the meat with salt and pepper; place meat over indirect heat and grill till juices appear on top, 10 to 15 min. From time to time, slide the meat over direct heat to brown.
- Turn the meat to second side and continue grilling over indirect heat till almost done, about 10 min. Move the meat to hottest part of grill for 3 to 5 min to crisp the crust. Remove the meat to a platter and cut into thin slices. Arrange the condiments - mayonnaise, chimichurri, peppers, onions and hard-boiled Large eggs - and have guests assemble their own sandwiches.
- This recipe yields 8 servings.
