Pebre sauce is sort of like the pico de gallo for Chilean barbecue – a simple fresh salsa with a ton of flavor. It’s delicious with grilled meats, whether beef steak, chicken, or pork. Or serve it atop toasted bread for a quick-to-make, yet surprisingly flavorful appetizer or as a side to tortilla chips instead of your everyday salsa. Its simplicity makes this a real go-to well beyond its Chilean roots.

The heat in this recipe comes from jalapeño peppers, so there’s a decent, yet still family friendly, sizzle here. Though feel free to adjust the chili pepper used. Serrano peppers can provide a nice heat uptick while a poblano or Anaheim pepper can turn down the sizzle.
