Chimichurri rub is a dry version of the sauce that adds intense flavor to grilled or roasted meats. It is made with a blend of herbs such as parsley, oregano, thyme, and cilantro, along with spices like garlic, paprika, and chili powder. This flavorful rub not only adds a vibrant taste but also tenderizes the meat, making it succulent and juicy.
