Steak Kebabs with Chimichurri
Description
This recipe uses sirloin or Angus beef cut into one-inch cubes, seasoned with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. The beef is threaded onto bamboo skewers along with large chunks of red onion and whole cherry tomatoes, then cooked over high heat on a grill. The quick grilling method, approximately two to three minutes per side, yields steaks cooked to medium-rare with a seared exterior and juicy interior.
The chimichurri sauce is prepared separately by combining finely chopped parsley and cilantro with red onion, apple cider vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. After allowing the mixture to sit briefly for flavors to meld, it is chilled and served atop the grilled kebabs. The sauce adds a fresh, tangy, and slightly spicy element that complements the smoky grilled meat and vegetables.
These kebabs are ideal for outdoor grilling occasions and pair well with simple sides or bread. To enhance flavors, the chimichurri can be made a few hours in advance. Bamboo skewers should be soaked in water before grilling to prevent burning.
