Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 4 minced garlic cloves, 3 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper to create the marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 1/2 lbs beef sirloin cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Step 3: Preheat grill to high heat. Thread marinated beef cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, dividing evenly.
Step 4: Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until beef is cooked to medium-rare or desired doneness, turning to get even char marks.
Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with fresh chimichurri or lime wedges.
