Thanks to SABER Grills for sponsoring this post so I could make these incredible Steak Fajita Skewers with Cilantro Chimichurri for you! As always all opinions are my own.

I can’t wait until June is here, then I can be certain that grilling season has officially begun. For the past month it’s been hit of miss with grilling here in Colorado. We’ve had some absolutely gorgeous weekends that were perfect for sitting out on the deck, having a couple cocktails and grilling our dinner. Then there was last week when I planned to grill these Steak Fajita Skewers with Cilantro Chimichurri…it of course decided it needed to snow.

Healthy grilling never looked so good!I debated making them inside on my grill pan, but I’m sorry, nothing compares to the flavor you get using a gas or charcoal grill. Not to mention the skewers never fit in my grill pan correctly so I can’t get those awesome grill marks.

Since the grill pan wasn’t going to cut it, I put on my winter coat, snow boots and grabbed the brush I use to get the snow off my car and headed outside. After spending 10 minutes making a path to the grill and getting all the snow off of it, it was lit and ready for the steak fajita skewers. I have no doubt that if any of the neighbors saw me they thought for sure that I had lost my mind.

I stood outside on that late May, 37 degree, snowy day and I grilled those skewers like a champ! I’m so glad I did too because they taste incredible. For a girl who doesn’t eat steak all that often, I have to say these were a real treat and I know I’ll be making them multiple times this summer. While the skewers alone were fantastic, the cilantro chimichurri sauce really put them over the top. It added an amazing fresh cilantro and citrusy lime flavor to the steak, do not skip making it!

Steak Fajita Skewers with Cilantro Chimichurri

Yield: 6 servings
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

Steak and Vegetable Seasoning

  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano, rubbed between the palms of your hands
  • 1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Steak Fajita Skewers

  • 2 pounds top sirloin steak, cut into approximately 1 to 1 1/2 inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2 inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, halved then each half cut into quarters
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, divided

Cilantro Chimichurri

  • 1/2 cup packed cilantro leaves
  • 1/2 cup packed flat leaf parsley
  • 1 jalapeño, seeds removed and finely chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic, chopped
  • 1 green onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

Steak Fajita Skewers

  1. In a small bowl whisk together the ingredients for the steak and vegetable seasoning.
  2. In a gallon sized freezer bag place the steak cubes, 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the seasoning mix.
  3. Seal the bag, pressing out all of the air, then massage the oil and seasoning into the steak.
  4. Let it rest for several minutes or even overnight if you want to make it ahead of time.
  5. In a medium sized bowl or another freezer bag, add the peppers, red onion, remaining seasoning mix and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Toss to coat.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat and brush the grates with oil.
  7. Thread 8-10 metal or (soaked) wooden skewers evenly with the steak and vegetables. Sprinkle with a little extra salt and pepper before placing them on the grill.
  8. Grill the skewers, turning them occasionally, until grill marks appear. Approximately 7-9 minutes for medium-rare. Serve the skewers topped with the cilantro chimichurri or alongside them for dipping.
  9. Cilantro Chimichurri

  1. Place all of the ingredients into a food processor and purée until smooth.
  2. Pour into a small bowl and set aside until ready to serve. Makes 1 cup.

Notes

  • I like my cilantro chimichurri a little more acidic. Feel free to add 1-2 more tablespoons of olive oil if you prefer a less acidic sauce.
  • If you have extra chimichuri it will last in the fridge for several days.
  • If you are using wooden skewers be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes so they don't disintegrate on the grill.
