Tangy lemon, earthy parsley and zesty garlic 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. Of course, I want to tell you how much I love simple but flavorful sauces like this Lemon Parsley Sauce.
I want to describe how the tangy lemon is so well complimented with the mellow but earthy parsley and zesty garlic. Really, I do.
I want to wax poetic about the virtues of pairing this sauce recipe with a perfectly cooked steak.
But really, I just want you to get out the lemon and parsley and garlic and make this sauce. Then eat it over steak or potatoes … or both. Or try it over chicken. Or what about with a nice firm white fish?
It’s kind of like chimichurri … without the spice.
Just try it.
For the steak, there’s no need to do anything too fancy. A steak seasoned with salt and pepper and grilled to however you like it is perfect. But you could also totally go a little fancier if you prefer.

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.

It sound fabulous, and definitely a new flavor for me with steak.

Last summer I put basil aioli on everything. I was looking for a new summer must-have, and this might be it. Thanks!
