Stoney says: start low, go slow — the forest isn't going anywhere. Wait 90 minutes before seconds.

Steps

  1. Chop the garlic and chile finer than feels necessary — in a spooned sauce, every tablespoon should taste and dose the same, and big chunks make uneven spoonfuls.
  2. In a bowl, stir together the olive oil and vinegar, then fold in the parsley, garlic, chile, oregano, salt and pepper until the herbs are fully coated and suspended.
  3. Let the bowl sit at room temperature 10 minutes so the flavors move into the oil. (A couple of hours is better if you have the time.)
  4. Now set the volume. Pour the sauce into a 250 ml measuring cup and level it — you want it just under 240 ml so there's room for the tincture. Top up with plain olive oil if it's short; if it's over, hold the extra back in a separate unlabelled container and don't serve it as dosed.
  5. Off heat and off the grill — this sauce is never cooked, and never brushed onto meat over flame — whisk in the full 80 mg of tincture. Stir for a full minute, lifting from the bottom, so the dose is evenly spread through the oil rather than pooling.
  6. Decant into a 250 ml jar, seal, and refrigerate. Stir or shake before every use, because the herbs settle and the oil rises.
  7. Label the jar: "Infused Chimichurri — 80 mg THC total • 16 servings • 5 mg THC per 1 tbsp • made [date] • 21+ only. Stir before serving." Keep a measuring spoon on the jar and serve it that way at the table.
  8. Serving note: spoon a measured tablespoon over already-cooked steak, grilled vegetables, eggs or rice bowls. Never baste with it — heat and a hot grill are not where this sauce belongs.
