Instructions

Step 1: Toss 1 lb sirloin steak cubes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper in a bowl. Thread onto soaked wooden skewers or metal skewers.
Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill the beef skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until medium-rare to medium, with a slight char.
Step 3: While beef cooks, prepare chimichurri by combining 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 2 tbsp water, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes in a bowl. Stir well and season with salt to taste.
Step 4: Remove beef from grill and let rest 5 minutes. Serve the skewers drizzled generously with chimichurri sauce.
