Here’s a delicious recipe for Spicy Beef Skewers with Chimichurri Sauce:

Ingredients

For the Beef Skewers:

• 1.5 lbs (680g) beef sirloin or tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 2 tbsp hot sauce (adjust to your heat preference)
• 1 tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Bamboo or metal skewers

For the Chimichurri Sauce:

• 1 cup fresh parsley leaves, packed
• 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, packed
• 1/4 cup fresh oregano leaves (or 1 tbsp dried oregano)
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preparing the Beef Skewers:

1. Marinate the Beef: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, hot sauce, smoked paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the beef cubes to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, preferably 1-2 hours.
2. Skewer the Beef: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers.
3. Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the skewers for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Preparing the Chimichurri Sauce:

1. Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor or blender, combine the parsley, cilantro, oregano, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not completely smooth. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Serve: Transfer the chimichurri sauce to a serving bowl. You can let it sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serving

• Plating: Arrange the beef skewers on a platter and serve with a generous amount of chimichurri sauce on the side.
• Garnish: Optionally, garnish with some extra chopped parsley or cilantro for a fresh touch.

Enjoy your spicy beef skewers with chimichurri sauce! They make a perfect appetizer or main dish for any occasion.
