On my recent honeymoon trip to Costa Rica, I got to taste some of the amazing flavors and food of Costa Rica like this Chimichurri Steak recipe Phase 2. The use of Chimichurri herbs and flavors originated in Argentina and is a staple of many Central and South American countries. If you’ve never had Chimichurri steak before, you are in for quite a treat. The combination of garlic, lemon, and crisp, fresh parsley create a truly memorable and tasty Phase 2 meal. My Chimichurri steak recipe Phase 2 is so simple to make and delicious that you might just forget you are on the HCG Diet!
