Juicy, smoky, and exploding with fresh herb flavor, these Chimichurri Steak Skewers are the perfect centerpiece for your next BBQ or weeknight dinner. The tender beef is grilled to perfection, then drizzled with a bright and zesty chimichurri sauce that pulls everything together with its garlicky, vinegary kick.

What Cut of Beef Works Best for Chimichurri Steak Skewers?

For the juiciest and most flavorful skewers, opt for cuts like sirloin, ribeye, or flat iron steak. These cuts are tender enough to stay juicy on the grill and absorb marinades well without becoming chewy. Trim any excess fat and cut the meat into uniform cubes for even cooking.

Ingredients for the Chimichurri Steak Skewers

Steak: The star of the show. Choose a tender cut like sirloin or ribeye and cube it for skewering.

Olive Oil: Acts as the base for both the marinade and chimichurri sauce, keeping everything luscious and rich.

Red Wine Vinegar: Adds a bold acidity that balances the richness of the beef and the oil.

Garlic: Freshly minced garlic infuses the meat and sauce with pungent depth.

Fresh Parsley and Cilantro: The herbs that make chimichurri sing—bright, earthy, and green.

Red Pepper Flakes: Optional, but gives the sauce a subtle kick.

Salt and Pepper: Essential for seasoning the beef before grilling and enhancing the sauce.

Shallot or Onion: Finely minced and added to the chimichurri for a little crunch and sweet pungency.

Lemon Juice (optional): Adds freshness and a citrusy zing.

How To Make the Chimichurri Steak Skewers

Step 1: Make the Chimichurri Sauce

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, minced shallot, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Set aside to let the flavors meld.

Step 2: Marinate the Steak

Toss your beef cubes with half of the chimichurri sauce. Cover and let marinate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours) to infuse the meat with herby flavor.

Step 3: Skewer and Preheat Grill

Thread the marinated steak onto soaked wooden or metal skewers. Meanwhile, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

Step 4: Grill the Skewers

Place skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the desired doneness is reached. Aim for a good sear while keeping the inside tender.

Step 5: Serve with Extra Chimichurri

Remove the skewers and drizzle with the remaining chimichurri sauce. Serve immediately while hot and juicy.

How to Serve and Store Chimichurri Steak Skewers

These skewers are best served hot off the grill, garnished with a final drizzle of chimichurri. For gatherings, you can keep them warm in a low oven (around 200°F) for up to 30 minutes.

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven for best texture, and always serve with extra chimichurri on the side.
