What Cut of Steak Works Best for Skewers?

You want something tender and easy to cut into bite-sized pieces. Sirloin is a favorite because it holds up well on the grill and stays juicy. Ribeye works beautifully if you’re aiming for maximum flavor and don’t mind a little extra fat. For a leaner option, try using flank steak or flat iron. Whatever you choose, make sure to cut the meat against the grain for tenderness.

How To Make the Chimichurri Steak Skewers

Step 1: Make the Chimichurri Sauce

In a food processor or blender, combine fresh parsley, cilantro, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Pulse until everything is finely chopped but not completely smooth. You want a slightly chunky consistency.

Step 2: Marinate the Steak

Cut your steak into evenly sized cubes, about 1.5 inches. Toss the steak in half of the chimichurri sauce, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).

Step 3: Prep the Skewers

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated steak onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each cube for even cooking.

Step 4: Grill to Perfection

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the steak reaches your desired doneness. Remove from the grill and let rest a few minutes.

Step 5: Finish and Serve

Drizzle the remaining chimichurri sauce over the cooked skewers. Serve immediately while hot and juicy.

How to Serve and Store Chimichurri Steak Skewers

This recipe feeds about 4 people generously, especially when served with sides. You can also double it easily for a crowd.

Serve the skewers hot off the grill with a side of rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. The steak is fantastic the next day in wraps, tacos, or chopped over a salad.

To reheat, gently warm in a skillet or microwave, though it’s best enjoyed fresh from the grill.
