Instructions

Step 1: In a bowl, combine 3 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp chopped fresh oregano, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper to make the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb cubed sirloin steak to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to absorb flavors.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 425°F). Thread the marinated beef cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small space between each piece.
Step 4: Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until the beef is nicely charred on the outside and cooked to medium-rare or desired doneness.
Step 5: Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with extra chimichurri sauce made from the marinade ingredients, adjusting seasoning if needed.
