These Chimichurri Steak Kabobs are the perfect reason to fire up the grill. Delicious sirloin marinated in homemade chimichurri sauce is the perfect dinner any night of the week.
It’s no secret that I love chimichurri sauce. I make it fresh at least once a week and have shared a few of my favorite ways to use it right here on the blog. Today I’m sharing another family favorite recipe using the sauce, Chimichurri Steak Kabobs.
They’re one of those dinners that are effortless but taste oh-so-amazing. These kabobs are easy to cook on the grill and it’s one of my go-to grilling recipes.
In fact, these steak kabobs with homemade chimichurri sauce are one of the first grilling recipes I taught my teenage son to cook aside from hot dogs and burgers.

CAN I ADD ANYTHING ELSE TO THE CHIMICHURRI STEAK KABOBS?
Lots of vegetables would be the perfect addition to these steak kabobs. Zucchini, tomatoes, pepper and even yellow squash. Feel free to layer your favorite vegetables in between the pieces of steak for a colorful and flavorful touch.
WHAT DO I NEED TO MAKE STEAK KABOBS WITH CHIMICHURRI SAUCE?
The ingredient list for this recipe is pretty short. You just need steak pre-cut or cut into 3/4-in squares and my homemade chimichurri sauce. Most of those ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen. You’ll also need:
- skewers – metal ones or wood ones that have been soaked in water
- tongs
- a large ziplock bag
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COOK STEAK KABOBS?
Once they’re ready to be cooked, you only need to grill them 4-5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F for medium-rare kabobs.
WHAT CUT OF STEAK DO I NEED FOR THE KABOBS?
For this recipe, I just grabbed a pack of stew meat from Costco but you can use sirloin steak, flat iron, or ribeye. Just be sure to cut them into 3/4-in squares. Bigger chunks will take a few more minutes.
