Ingredients

Chimichurri Sauce

  • ½ cup (107 g) extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup (60 g) red wine vinegar
  • ½ medium shallot, finely diced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 small jalapeno, seeded and finely diced (about 2 tablespoons)
  • ½ cup fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons fresh oregano, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh basil, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, minced
  • ½ teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

Steak Skewers

  • wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • 1 pound steak, cut into 1-inch cubes (top sirloin or ribeye work well)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup chimichurri sauce, from the recipe above, divided

Instructions

Chimichurri Sauce

  • In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Stir well to combine.
  • Let the mixture rest at room temperature for 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
  • Store the sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Before using, stir to mix any separated ingredients.

Steak Skewers

  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  • Season the steak cubes with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the steak cubes with ¼ cup chimichurri sauce, reserving the rest for serving.
  • Thread the seasoned steak cubes onto the skewers, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.*
  • Arrange the steak skewers in a single layer in the basket of your air fryer. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.)
  • Air fry for 4-6 minutes, flipping halfway through, until steak is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Remove from the air fryer and brush with some of the reserved chimichurri sauce. Serve the rest of the sauce on the side for dipping. Enjoy warm!
