Elevate your grilling game with these Chimichurri Steak and Potato Skewers—a bold and flavorful dish perfect for backyard barbecues or weeknight dinners.

Grilled to perfection, these skewers blend smoky char and zesty brightness in every bite. Easy to prepare in just 40 minutes, this recipe is ideal for impressing guests or enjoying a quick yet gourmet meal. Serve with a drizzle of reserved chimichurri sauce for an irresistible finishing touch that ties together every mouthwatering flavor.
Cut the sirloin steak into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
Boil the baby potatoes in salted water for 8-10 minutes, or until tender but still firm. Drain and set aside to cool.
In a blender or food processor, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, red chili flakes, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create the chimichurri sauce.
Reserve 1/4 cup of chimichurri sauce for serving and use the rest to marinate the steak cubes for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour, in the refrigerator.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Assemble the skewers by alternating steak cubes and boiled potatoes, ensuring each skewer has an even distribution.
Brush the skewers with olive oil and grill for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the steak reaches your desired doneness and the potatoes have a nice char.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Drizzle the reserved chimichurri sauce over the skewers before serving. Optionally, garnish with additional chopped parsley or cilantro.
