Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 1/4 cup olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper; whisk until well blended to form chimichurri marinade.
Step 2: Add 2 lbs of 1-inch cubed top sirloin steak to the marinade, tossing to coat all pieces thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to penetrate.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 450°F). Thread the marinated beef cubes evenly onto 8 soaked wooden skewers.
Step 4: Place skewers on the hot grill, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully, until the beef is medium-rare to medium and has a smoky charred exterior.
Step 5: Remove skewers from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
