Step 1
Blend green chilis, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and 2 tbsp water until smooth. Divide sauce in half.
Step 2
Toss beef cubes with half the sauce; let sit 5 minutes while you thread them onto metal skewers with onion pieces.
Step 3
Heat grill or grill pan to high. Oil grates. Sear beef skewers 2–3 minutes per side until edges char and centers stay medium-rare.
Step 4
On the same grill, sear beef patties 2 minutes per side until a crust forms and internal temp hits 160°F.
Step 5
Plate skewers and patties together. Spoon reserved aji verde sauce on the side or over the top.
