Instructions

Step 1: Cut 1.5 pounds of sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes and place in a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to coat evenly and marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare chimichurri sauce by combining 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside to let flavors meld.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
Step 4: Grill the beef skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until the outside is nicely charred and the inside is medium-rare to medium. Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.
Step 5: Serve the grilled beef skewers drizzled with the chimichurri sauce, spooning extra sauce on the side for dipping.
