Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Combine garlic, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and cumin in a large bowl to create the marinade.

  2. Step 2

    Add beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

  3. Step 3

    While beef marinates, prepare chimichurri sauce by mixing parsley, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.

  4. Step 4

    Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes, or use metal skewers.

  5. Step 5

    Preheat grill to high heat (450–500°F).

  6. Step 6

    Thread marinated beef cubes onto skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces for even cooking.

  7. Step 7

    Grill skewers for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Work in batches if needed.

  8. Step 8

    Let meat rest for 5 minutes after grilling, then serve hot with chimichurri sauce on the side.
