Chimichuri Steak Kabobs


  • I recently got a new BBQ and was dying to try it out for Memorial Day. Had a few friends over and made these kabobs which were a huge hit! What made them really unique and flavorful was the chimichuri sauce. I plan to use this again with chicken and fish. This dish was really great because I could make the sauce and skewers a few hours ahead so I could hang with my guests. 

  • Ingredients:
  • 1 lb beef, (sirloin or Angus) cut into 1-inch cubes
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 large red onion, cut into large chunks
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 1 bell pepper, cut into large chunks
  • 6 metal or wooden skewers, (if using wood, soak in water for 1 hour to prevent burning)

  • Chimichuri:
  • 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped (no stems)
  • 2 tbsp chopped green onion
  • 2 tbsp red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/8 tsp fresh black pepper
  • 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes, or more to taste

  1. Directions:
  2. 1. Skewer tomato, onion, beef, and bell pepper in whatever order you like. make sure to leave a little space between each item so it cooks more evenly. 

  1. 2. For the chimichurri, combine all ingredients in a blender and puree until mostly smooth. You want some chunks, almost like a salsa. This can be made an hour or two ahead. 

  1. 3. Prepare the grill on high heat. Grill until meat is done to desired temperature (about 3 minutes per side for medium). Remove skewers to a plate or plater and drizzle with chimichurri sauce. Set extra sauce on the side for serving.
