Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley, 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until well combined to make chimichurri sauce.

- Step 5: Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with any leftover chimichurri sauce spooned over the top.
