Ingredients
For the Skewers:
1½ lbs (680g) flank or sirloin steak, cut into 1½-inch cubes
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak for 30 minutes)
For the Chimichurri:
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh cilantro (optional), chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
½ tsp dried oregano
½ cup olive oil
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Juice of ½ lemon (optional for extra brightness)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Marinate the Steak
In a bowl, toss steak cubes with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge).
Make the Chimichurri
In a bowl, combine parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, oregano, olive oil, and salt/pepper.
Stir to combine.
Add lemon juice if using. Let sit while you cook the steak for best flavor infusion.
Assemble the Skewers
Thread the marinated steak onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even cooking.
Grill or Cook
Grill over medium-high heat for 2–3 minutes per side, or until your preferred doneness. You can also cook them in a grill pan or cast iron skillet indoors.
Serve
Drizzle generously with chimichurri and serve extra sauce on the side.
Tips and Tricks
So that the juices redistribute, rest the meat for a few minutes just before you serve.
Don’t skip the resting – letting the herbs sit in the oil to enhance the chimichurri flavor.
Use metal skewers as they are much easier to handle and provide even cooking.
