Ingredients
Chimichurri Sauce
2 garlic cloves
½ teaspoon salt
1¼ cups chopped fresh cilantro
1¼ cups chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup chopped fresh oregano
½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes
⅓ cup red wine vinegar
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Skewers
1½ pounds beef tenderloin, cut into cubes
1 red onion, cut into large cubes
1 pint cherry tomatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil, as needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
1. Make the Chimichurri: On a cutting board, smash the garlic cloves with the back of a knife. Add the salt and continue to smash the garlic into a paste.
2. Transfer the garlic to a small bowl. Stir in the cilantro, parsley, oregano, red-pepper flakes and red wine vinegar. Gradually whisk in the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Make the Skewers: Arrange 4 or 5 pieces of beef, 2 or 3 pieces of onion and 2 or 3 tomatoes on each skewer.
4. Brush the skewers on both sides with olive oil and then season with salt and pepper. Working in batches, cook on a preheated grill or grill pan until nicely charred on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
5. Serve immediately, garnished generously with the chimichurri sauce.
