This sauce is one my favorite toppings for a steak,  but it works well with anything. I like to use cilantro and parsley when I make it, if you don’t like cilantro just leave it out.  It also makes a great marinade for chicken.  Overall this is just an excellent sauce that adds an extra layer of flavor to anything.

 

I have posted this as part of my Flank Steak recipe, but decided that I make it often enough to post on its own.
