Chimichurri Sauce

I grilled up some delicious steaks and wanted a fresh sauce to lighten up the steaks. This was a quick and easy sauce to throw together in the food processor. It is also a great way to use up any extra herbs. The sauce was also different than any I had had before with the addition of the smoked paprika. This sauce is very versatile. It can be used on fish, chicken, pork, beef, veggies, etc.
