Instructions
Steak Fajita Skewers:

- In a separate medium sized bowl, add the peppers, onion, 2 tbsp seasoning, and oil. Toss to coat evenly and set aside.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Thread the steak and veggies onto 10 metal or wooden(soaked, see note below) skewers evenly.Note: This is super fun to let kids help and they absolutely LOVE it! There's no wrong way or pattern to skewers.
- Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, until grill marks appear about 7-9 minutes for medium-rare. Serve skewers topped with the chimichurri or on the side for dipping.
Chimichurri: (optional) Makes about 1 cup
- Place all the ingredients into a food processor or high speed blender and pulse until smooth. Pour into a small bowl and set aside until ready to serve. It'll last in the refrigerator for up to one week.If you want a less acidic chimichurri, add about 1-2 more tablespoons of oil.
Notes
Veggies: These skewers are super versatile! Add whatever veggies you want, our favorite is this recipe combo.
Skewer Soaking? While 30 minutes is the minimum, it’s best to plan ahead and soak your bamboo skewers overnight in water. They take awhile to soak up the water, but it’s worth it so they don’t burn super fast.
Night Before Prep: These skewers make the best meal prep, especially for entertaining. Just prepare the skewers and place in a dish, cover with plastic wrap, and store in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes up to overnight.
