Description
Juicy, tender steak skewers grilled to perfection and topped with vibrant homemade chimichurri sauce. Perfect for outdoor cookouts or quick weeknight dinners, this dish packs bold flavor in every bite. Serve with a side salad or grilled veggies for a complete meal.
Ingredients
1 ½ pounds sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
½ cup olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
8 skewers, wooden (soaked) or metal
Instructions
1. Cut steak into even 1.5-inch cubes and pat dry. Season with salt and pepper and let rest at room temperature.
2. In a bowl or food processor, combine parsley, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Blend into a slightly chunky sauce.
3. (Optional) Marinate steak in a few tablespoons of chimichurri for 30 minutes. Reserve remaining sauce for serving.
4. Thread steak cubes onto skewers, leaving slight space between each piece.
5. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill skewers 2–3 minutes per side until desired doneness (8–10 minutes total for medium).
6. Let skewers rest 5 minutes off the grill. Drizzle generously with chimichurri before serving.
Notes
For best flavor, use fresh parsley and garlic; dried herbs don’t give the same punch.
Letting the steak sit at room temperature before grilling ensures even cooking.
Wooden skewers should be soaked for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
