Ingredients
Scale
For the Skewers:
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 lb steak (sirloin or your favorite cut), cubed
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Chimichurri Sauce:
- 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Skewers: Thread the shrimp, steak cubes, red and yellow bell peppers, and red onion onto skewers. Brush with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for 3-4 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink and opaque, and the steak reaches your preferred doneness.
- Make the Chimichurri: While the skewers are grilling, combine parsley, cilantro, minced garlic, olive oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes in a bowl. Stir well and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Drizzle the fresh chimichurri sauce over the grilled skewers or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Notes
- Marinate the steak cubes in half of the chimichurri sauce for 1 hour for extra flavor.
- Swap out the shrimp for scallops or chicken if you prefer, or try adding mushrooms and zucchini to the skewers for extra veggies.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes before grilling to avoid burning.
