Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp red chili flakes, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir well to make the chimichurri marinade.
Step 2: Add 1 lb of 1-inch beef sirloin cubes into the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to absorb flavors.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 425°F). Thread marinated beef cubes onto 6 soaked wooden skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces.
Step 4: Grill the beef skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning carefully until the exterior is seared and the interior reaches medium-rare to medium doneness.
Step 5: Remove skewers from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with extra chimichurri sauce spooned over the top or on the side.
