Ingredients
For the Steak
- Save: Sirloin (see notes for steak serving)
- Splurge: Filet Mignon
For the Chimichurri
- 1 cup Olive oil
- ¾ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Pepper
- 1 Bunch Parsley/Cilantro
- 1 tsp Oregano
- 2 Tbsp Red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp Honey
- 3 Tbsp Lemon juice
- 6 cloves Garlic
Instructions
For the Chimichurri
- Prepare the Herbs: Pulse the parsley and cilantro in a food processor until finely chopped.
- Blend the Sauce: Add the remaining ingredients to the food processor and blend until smooth.
For the Steak Kebabs:
- Marinate the Steak: Cut the steak into cubes and marinate in half of the chimichurri sauce for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavours to penetrate the meat, making it tender and flavourful.
- Assemble the Kebabs: Thread the marinated steak cubes onto skewers.
- Grill the Kebabs: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Serve: Drizzle the remaining chimichurri sauce over the grilled kebabs before serving.
Notes
For a typical serving, you might want to estimate around 1/2 pound (225 grams) of steak per person. Depending on the number of servings you plan to make, you can calculate the total amount of steak needed. Here's a rough guide:
- 2 people: 1 pound (450 grams) of steak
- 4 people: 2 pounds (900 grams) of steak
- 6 people: 3 pounds (1.35 kilograms) of steak
- 8 people: 4 pounds (1.8 kilograms) of steak
