Chimichurri Sauce for Wild Game
Grilled elk sirloin with chimichurri sauce is a very satisfying main dish to serve up anytime during the week. If you don't have sirloin to grill up, don't worry. This colorful and fragrant sauce will enhance any cut of elk that you plan to grill and the sauce tastes just as flavorful when you serve it over grilled venison, antelope, bison or bighorn sheep. The chimichurri is simply a blend of chopped herbs, garlic, vinegar and a bit of heat from a red jalapeno. If you prefer a less warm herbed sauce, you can eliminate the jalapeno or cut down the amount that you add.
