Nicaraguan Style Steak Skewers with Chimichurri
Report
Yield: 21 skewers

Ingredients
For the Chimichurri
- 2 c fresh parsley (1/2 large bunch)
- 4 garlic cloves
- ¼ c olive oil
- 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp pepper
For the Meat
- ¾ lb beef steak, (strip steak, skirt steak or tenderloin), trimmed to ¾-1” thick
- Toothpicks (for serving)
Instructions
For the Chimichurri
- Place the parsley leaves, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in the bowl of your food processor. Process until a smooth paste forms. (You should have roughly 2/3 c of Chimichurri.) Reserve ¼ c of the Chimichurri and place the remaining in a sealed container in the refrigerator to let the flavors come together for at least 2 hours.
For the Meat
- Place the steak in a Ziploc bag and add the reserved ¼ c of Chimichurri. Seal the bag and massage the marinade into the meat. Let the meat marinade for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat your grill to medium (about 400F). (You should be able to hold your hand above the grilling grate for 5-6 seconds.)
- Place the marinated steak on the grill. Cover the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side. Flip the meat and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the second side. When done, your meat should still feel slightly soft. This means you will have a nice medium-rare, pink center. Perfect!
- Remove the meat from the grill and let it rest on your cutting board for 10 minutes to let the juices settle. Once rested, slice the steak thinly, on an angle across the grain. Thread each thin slice of steak onto a toothpick and serve with the Chimichurri sauce.*
Notes
- *This is a great appetizer to make ahead of time. Refrigerate the meat skewers overnight and bring them to room temperature before serving.
