Steak Kebabs with Chimichurri
Grilled steak, zucchini, tomatoes, and onion kebabs that are slathered in a fresh & citrusy chimichurri sauce. Simple, healthy, and delicious!
I was craving a healthy meal for dinner and decided to do these steak kebabs with chimichurri after finding the recipe online at Cooking Classy. I loved the combination of ingredients on the skewers and thought the chimichurri sauce sounded excellent. It’s great that you don’t have to marinate the meat & veggies prior to cooking–you just slather the sauce over the hot kebabs then serve. The meat was tender, juicy, & cooked just right and the veggies were crisp-tender & perfect but the real star of the show was the chimichurri sauce!!! YUM! These steak kebabs paired nicely with garlic rice and roasted asparagus. My family devoured the meal in minutes and I’ll be making it again soon.
How to Make Steak Kebabs with Chimichurri
Make the chimichurri sauce by whisking together the olive oil, parsley, cilantro, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, onion, minced garlic, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes in a bowl. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Set aside to allow flavors time to mingle.
Preheat your cast iron grill pan over medium-high heat until smoking hot, about 10 minutes.
Thread steak, zucchini coins, tomatoes, and red onion on the wooden skewers. Brush lightly with olive oil then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
Place 3-4 kebabs on your grill pan (don’t overcrowd!) and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the inside of the meat registers at 130-135 for medium-rare. Remove from the grill pan and place on a cutting board then immediately brush the hot kebabs with some of the chimichurri sauce & loosely cover with a tin foil tent. Repeat the process with the rest of the kebabs. Serve with the remaining sauce on the side. Enjoy!
Side Note: If you are using a grill: Heat the grill over medium-high heat to about 400 degrees. Cook the kebabs for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the inside of the meat registers at 130-135 for medium-rare.
