Tenderloin w/ Avocado-Chimichurri Sauce

the last long weekend of summer means that a BBQ is in order.  

and because it's the last weekend long weekend of summer, we decided to splurge on some beautiful tenderloin and i broke out one of my favourite steak toppings, a chimichurri. 

chimichurri, is a favourite Argentinian sauce made up of fresh herbs, garlic, vinegar and oil.  but just to take it a step further and up my culinary game, by folding in diced, creamy avocado.  

game changer.

happy sunday.
