Ingredients
  

  • 2 ribeye steaks cubed into ½-inch pieces
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Skewers optional
  • 1 bunch fresh parsley finely chopped
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp red chili flakes

Method
 

  1. Remove ribeye steaks from refrigeration and let sit at room temperature 15 minutes. Pat dry with paper towels.

  3. Season steak cubes with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss to coat evenly. Thread onto skewers if using, leaving small gaps between pieces.

  7. Place skewered steak bites on hot grill grates. Cook 90 seconds to 2 minutes per side without moving.
  8. Rotate skewers every 90 seconds to sear all four sides, about 6-8 minutes total for medium-rare. Watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
  9. Remove cooked steak bites from grill and slide off skewers into large serving bowl.
  10. Pour chimichurri sauc
