How to Prepare

Place the diced beef into a zip lock bag and add in the marinade ingredients. Mix well until coated evenly and set aside to marinate.

Assemble the skewers alternating the cubes of beef, cherry tomato and onion slices. Place about 3-4 pieces of beef on each skewer.
Grill the skewers over medium high heat, rotating until the steak is nicely charred and cooked to your preference. Serve the beef kabobs with the smoky chimichurri sauce.
