Adore this beef. Whenever we make beef roasts, we usually end up shredding the beef into the rich sauce - and this one is just the same. Chimichurri sauce is a cilantro based sauce that you could use to cook on the beef and as a garnish. You can usually find it on the international aisle at your grocery store, and in some stores, it’s closer to the condiments. If you can’t find it, you could use another “green salsa” type sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro. We love this as tacos, over rice and just as is!
