Step 1
Combine garlic, parsley, cilantro, olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and cumin in a large bowl to create the marinade.
Step 2
Add beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
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.
Step 4
Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes, or use metal skewers.
Step 5
Preheat grill to high heat (450–500°F).
Step 6
Thread marinated beef cubes onto skewers, leaving a small gap between pieces for even cooking.
Step 7
Grill skewers for 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until desired doneness is reached. Work in batches if needed.
Step 8
Let meat rest for 5 minutes after grilling, then serve hot with chimichurri sauce on the side.
