Instructions

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Add 1 lb sirloin steak cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 1 hour in the refrigerator.
Step 2: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers.
Step 3: Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Grill beef skewers for 3-4 minutes per side until nicely charred outside and cooked to desired doneness.
Step 4: While the beef cooks, prepare chimichurri sauce by combining 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley, 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro, 2 tbsp red wine vinegar, 1/4 tsp red chili flakes, 2 tbsp water, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Stir well.
Step 5: Serve the hot beef skewers drizzled with chimichurri sauce for a vibrant and aromatic Latin American meal.
