4 crusty bread rolls, split
Chimichurri: 1 cup parsley, 4 cloves garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp oregano, 1 tsp red pepper flakes, salt

Instructions

1 Make chimichurri: finely chop parsley and garlic. Mix with olive oil, vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt. Rest 30 minutes.
2 Grill beef sausages over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until cooked through and charred, about 12 minutes.
