Tangy, earthy and zesty combine in this easy Lemon Parsley Sauce recipe. It's great on steak, chicken, potatoes and more.
I've been staring at this screen for way too long, remembering this delightful sauce fondly. Of course, I want to tell you how much I love simple but flavorful sauces like this Lemon Parsley Sauce. They add so much to a meal.
I want to describe how the tangy lemon is so well complimented with the mellow but earthy parsley and zesty garlic. These flavors are so mouthwateringly good together. Really, I do want to tell you that.
I want to wax poetic about the virtues of pairing this sauce recipe with a perfectly cooked steak, juicy and hot from the grill.
But really, I just want you to get out the lemon and parsley and garlic and make this sauce. Then spoon it over that perfect steak. Of course, why should you stop there? Enjoy it over potatoes, grilled chicken, a nice firm white fish or even grilled shrimp. All of these would be delightful with this divine sauce.
It's kind of like chimichurri ... without the zing of crushed red pepper.
But really, what I should tell is you is to just try it. You won't regret it.
And if you do eat it with steak, there's no need to do anything too fancy preparing it. A steak seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled to your preferred doneness will be the right pairing to really enjoy this divine sauce.

What a great twist for steak! I bet it pairs perfectly... I will put it on my list of things to try!
I can totally see using that over potatoes as well! YUM!

Last summer I put basil aioli on everything. I was looking for a new summer must-have, and this might be it. Thanks!
It sound fabulous, and definitely a new flavor for me with steak.
What can we use instead of a food processor?
Sorry, but this recipe has only been tested with a food processor. You could certainly try finely chopping all the ingredients and whisking them together but I can't vouch for the results, since I have never tested it that way.
