Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp black pepper. Add 600 g cubed sirloin steak and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  2. Step 2: Meanwhile, prepare chimichurri by mixing 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint, 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl. Set aside to let flavors meld.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 425°F/220°C). Thread marinated beef cubes onto 8 soaked wooden skewers.
  4. Step 4: Grill skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until beef is nicely charred on the outside but still juicy inside.
  5. Step 5: Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with a generous spoonful of mint chimichurri drizzled over the skewers, evoking the fresh and lively spirit of the London Eye.
