U for Uruguay

A hearty delicious meaty steak dish served in Uruguay. With this dish we use another inspired Uruguayan/Argentinian dish called chimichurri sauce (Garlic, oil, zesty herby sauce or marinate). Chivito al plato is the plated up none bread version of the the famous Chivito Sandwich. Uruguay along with Argentina are very famous for their barbecued meats expecially the steaks.
