Instructions

Step 1: In a medium bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp dried oregano. Add 1 lb beef sirloin cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Step 2: While beef marinates, prepare chimichurri sauce by mixing 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside for flavors to meld.
Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high heat, about 400°F. Thread marinated beef cubes onto soaked wooden skewers, distributing evenly.
Step 4: Grill beef skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, turning once, until the outside is nicely charred and the inside reaches desired doneness (medium-rare recommended).
Step 5: Remove skewers from grill, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve with a generous spoonful of chimichurri sauce over the top.
