Key Ingredients for Chimichurri Steak Skewers

Chimichurri Steak Skewers Ingredients.
  • Steak: for this recipe I used a Ribeye, however a NY strip or even a chuck roast will work.
  • Veggies: I used red onion and a yellow bell pepper.
  • Seasoning: lightly season with Steak seasoning to elevate the natural flavors of the steak and veggies
  • Herbs: equal part cilantro and parsley are needed for the chimichurri.
  • Horseradish: a spoonful of ground fresh horseradish to give it a tangy and spicy kick.

Step 1: How to make a horseradish chimichurri.

Start off with finely chopping an entire batch of parsley and cilantro.  I have seen this done with parsley only, with cilantro only or both.  In my personal opinion, an equal mix of both makes it just right.

Next add a tablespoon of roasted minced garlic, freshly ground horseradish, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, red wine vinegar, and olive oil.  Mix these ingredients together with a spoon, not a food processor and you are done!  Yes, it’s that simple.

To start, cut the ribeye steak into 1 inch cubes.  Drizzle some olive oil over the steak cubes and season with Dad’s Steak seasoning. It’s the perfect blend of garlic, herbs and a buttery finish to make it takes like a basted steak.

Looking for a leaner option, use chicken breast or thighs.

Next cube up a bell pepper and red onion into similar bite size pieces. Don’t like bell peppers, use cherub tomatoes, zucchini or mushrooms.  

Next, skewer the ingredients and these are ready to hit the grill.

Recipe Tip

  • If using  wooden skewers, soak them in water so they can absorb the moisture and not burn during the cooking process.  I recommend using metal skewers.  They are reusable and durable.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What cut of steak should I use?

Type of steak depends on what you are trying to grill up. For hot and fast look for cuts with good marbling like a ribeye or NY strip. If you are cooking a roast or stew, look for cuts that are cheaper and meatier like a chuck roast.

At what temperature should I remove the steak?

The internal temperature all depends on how you want or prefer your steak cooked. For a medium rare, remove it at between 120-125 degrees. If you are going for a medium cooked steak, anywhere between 135-140 degrees. Anything over will be well done. Remember to always rest the meat for 10 minutes before slicing.

Can I make this in the oven stove top?

All my recipes can be replicated in the oven, stove top or gas grill. You do not need a big green egg or weber grill to replicate any of my recipes.
