Sauce recipe adapted from Epicurious
For the tempeh:
8 oz. tempeh
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon molasses
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne
For the chimichurri sauce:
1/3 cup parsley
2 tablespoons cilantro
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 clove of garlic
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
Cut the tempeh into flanks or cubes. In a small bowl or drinking glass, stir together the soy sauce, molasses, liquid smoke, apple cider vinegar, cumin, and cayenne. Pour a little of the sauce in the bottom of a small baking dish or an oven safe bowl. Add the tempeh. Pour the remaining sauce over the tempeh. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours, flipping the tempeh once in the middle of the marinate time.
To make the sauce, you’ll need a food processor or good blender. To the processor add the parsley, cilantro, lemon juice, garlic, red pepper, cumin, and salt. Pulse until well combined. With the processor running (if possible), slowly add the olive oil.

Yum! This sounds delicious. My mom is vegetarian, so I grew up on boca burgers, veggies, etc. She loves Tempeh – I’ll have to give this a try next time I’m visiting!
Yes yes yes, Chimichurri is real great and yours looks delicious! I did a Uruguayan sandwich called Chivito with my homemade Chimichurri. You can check it out here (recipe in German only, sorry): https://cheapandcheerfulcooking.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/rezept-chivito-sandwich-vegan/

i´m not a huge fan of tattoo´s but it must say the pineapple looks good on you! Nice to see that i´m not the only one who is enjoying tempé. Nice post:)
I’m Argentina and that’s not chimichurri!
chimichurri is made with red pepper, oregano, parsley, garlic, but not coriander 😉
Made this for dinner a couple of nights ago. The chimichurri sauce tastes great! So fresh and bright! Thanks for sharing.
I have made this dish a number of times since discovering it. My family loves it! I combine the tempeh steaks with rice noodles, then top with the Chimchurri sauce and sprinkles of cilantro.–delicious!
