Step 1
Pat beef cubes dry with paper towels. Thread onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces.
Step 2
Mix parsley, cilantro, garlic, vinegar, and sea salt in a small bowl until paste-like.
Step 3
Coat skewers heavily with the herb paste on all sides, pressing gently so it adheres.
Step 4
Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat until smoking, about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Sear skewers 90 seconds per side without moving. Exterior should be deeply browned, center rare to medium-rare.
Step 6
Squeeze lemon over skewers and serve immediately while surface is still crackling.
