Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 2 tbsp lime juice. Whisk to form a marinade.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 lb 1-inch cubed sirloin steak to the marinade, tossing to coat all pieces evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Thread the marinated steak cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers, dividing evenly.
  4. Step 4: Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until the steak is cooked to medium-rare and has charred grill marks.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley before serving.
