Ingredients
- 3 lbs filet mignon (or top sirloin steak), cut into 1 ½ -inch cubes
- ½ cup Chimichurri Sauce, plus more for finishing
- 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper- to taste
- 1 large green bell pepper, deseeded & cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large red bell pepper, deseeded & cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, deseeded & cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Marinate the steak. In a large resealable plastic bag or large bowl, combine the steak, chimichurri sauce, worcestershire, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt/pepper- to taste. Toss until everything is well combined and the steak is fully coated. Cover the dish with plastic wrap/foil or seal the bag and then refrigerate to marinate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight.
- Assemble kabobs on a skewer. I recommend using metal skewers, but wood skewers work as well- just be sure to soak them in water for about 20 minutes before using. Working with one skewer at a time (about 10 to 12 inches in length), carefully thread the meat alternating with each colored pepper until you reach the end of the skewer, leaving about a good 2 inches at the end. Repeat the process until all kabobs are assembled (this recipe makes about 8-10).
- Cook the steak. You can cook your kabobs in a variety of ways (indoor grill pan or traditional grill). Before grilling: Remove the marinated steak from the fridge and let sit out on the counter to come to room temperature before hitting the grill- this is essential to help loosen the marinade.
- To grill steak: Preheat the grill with the direct heat method to 400°F (medium-high heat) and lightly grease the grates. Carefully add the steak kabobs to the hot grates. Let the kabobs grill with the lid closed for about 4-5 minutes, rotating them every so often, or until the steak has reached your level of doneness. Then use tongs to remove the kabobs from the grill and place them onto a serving platter.
- Serve. Brush the grilled steak kabobs with more chimichurri sauce (if desired) while hot and let the kabobs rest for at least 5 minutes. Then serve immediately as-is or alongside your favorite side items. Enjoy!
