  • 2 pounds top sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 green bell pepper cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup olive oil for chimichurri
  • 1 avocado
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt for chimichurri
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper for chimichurri
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the steak with 2 tablespoons olive oil, chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper; toss until the steak is evenly coated.
  • Thread the seasoned steak cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red, yellow, and green bell pepper and the 1/2 red onion pieces.
  • Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the skewers for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
  • While the skewers cook, make the avocado chimichurri by blending 1/3 cup olive oil, the avocado, 3 garlic cloves, 1/2 cup chopped parsley, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 tablespoon lime juice until smooth.
  • Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot with the avocado chimichurri spooned over or served on the side.
