  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 pound ribeye or sirloin steak, cut into 1.5-inch cubes

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup chopped fresh parsley

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (or extra parsley)

3 garlic cloves, minced

1/4 cup olive oil

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

1-Make the chimichurri: Stir together parsley, cilantro, garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt until chunky; let sit while grilling.

2-Soak the skewers: Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning.

3-Season the proteins: Pat steak and shrimp dry; toss steak with half the oil, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder; toss shrimp separately with the same.

4-Skewer separately: Thread steak onto one set of skewers and shrimp onto another for separate cooking.

5-Heat the grill: Preheat grill to medium-high, oil grates, and set up two-zone heat if possible.

6-Grill the steak: Cook steak skewers on hot side 2-3 minutes per side, then move to cooler side to finish as needed.

7-Grill the shrimp: Cook shrimp skewers on hot side 1-2 minutes per side until pink and curled; remove immediately.

8-Rest and serve: Rest steak 5 minutes, remove from skewers, pile on platter, and spoon chimichurri over top.

Notes

๐Ÿ’ก Make the chimichurri a day ahead โ€” the garlic and herbs mellow and marry, yielding a sauce that tastes slow-simmered even though it never touched heat.
๐Ÿ”ฅ Use two heat zones on the grill: the hot side sears and chars while the cooler side lets the steak coast to perfect doneness without overcooking.
๐Ÿค Watch shrimp closely โ€” they are done the moment they curl into a loose C and turn pink; tight circles mean they have gone too far.
