Chimichurri Sauce

For Father's Day, my husband asked me for some rice, black beans, and churrasco (skirt steak) with what he called "green sauce".   And on Fathers Day, what the hubs wants, the hubs gets, because he is the most awesome dad in the world!

 

What you need: 

1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil

About 8 stems of fresh oregano with the leaves

1/2 of a whole lime 

1 teaspoon of salt

What you need to do:
