Ingredients

1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 75 mL
3 cups fresh cilantro packed 750 mL
3 garlic cloves 3
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp dried oregano 5 mL
1 tsp kosher salt or to taste 5 mL
1/2 cup canola oil 125 mL
1 1/2 lb boneless beef steak 750 g
8 bamboo skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes 8

Instructions

Preparation

1 Combine lemon juice, cilantro, garlic, pepper flakes, oregano, salt and canola oil in a blender. Process to form a thick puree. 2 Taste and season with pepper flakes and salt as desired. Place 2/3 cup (150 mL) puree in an airtight container and refrigerate; reserve for sauce.3 Cut beef into 1 1/2-inch (4 cm) cubes. Place cubes in resealable plastic bag with remaining puree; squeeze out excess air. 4 Marinate in refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight; turn as needed to evenly coat. 5 Preheat grill to medium-high. Clean it with a stiff brush, then rub with canola oil. 6 Remove beef cubes from marinade, and thread onto skewers; leave a bit of space between cubes. Discard marinade. Sprinkle beef kebabs with salt to taste.7 Grill until nicely charred on outside with defined grilling marks, about 2 minutes per side for medium-rare, 3 minutes per side for medium, and 4 minutes per side for medium-well. 8 Drizzle some reserved chimichurri sauce over kebabs, and serve hot or at room temperature. Serve remaining sauce on side.
