Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds flank steak or sirloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 large bell peppers (red and yellow), cut into 1.5-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, packed
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves (optional)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prep the chimichurri sauce: In a food processor, combine parsley, cilantro (if using), garlic, shallot, and oregano. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed. Slowly drizzle in olive oil and red wine vinegar while processing until combined but slightly chunky. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.
  2. Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for 10-15 minutes.
  3. Core and cut bell peppers into large chunks. Toss with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and a pinch of salt.
  4. Thread steak cubes and pepper pieces alternately onto skewers, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil grates.
  6. Grill skewers for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, turning once. Adjust time for desired doneness.
  7. Remove skewers and let rest for 5 minutes. Spoon chimichurri sauce generously over skewers before serving.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Do not over-blend chimichurri to keep texture. Let skewers rest after grilling to retain juices. Chimichurri can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge for better flavor.
