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 2: Add 1.5 pounds of 1-inch cubed sirloin steak to the chimichurri marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours to let flavors meld.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat (around 425°F). Thread the marinated beef cubes onto 8 skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces.
Step 4: Place skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until the beef is charred on edges and cooked to medium-rare or desired doneness.
Step 5: Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving with any leftover chimichurri sauce spooned over the top.
