Ingredients
  • ½ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons Sherry wine vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 garlic cloves, peeled
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
  • 3 cups fresh green herbs such as parsley, cilantro, basil and mint

Instructions
  1. Combine olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice and zest, garlic, salt, black pepper, red pepper, and herbs in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour into a covered container and store at room temperature until the picnic. If making ahead, refrigerate the sauce, but let it stand at room temperature at least 1 hour before serving. Freeze steak for 20 minutes before slicing thin pieces against the grain. Thread pieces of steak onto the skewers, and then grill over medium high heat just until seared, about 2 minutes per side. Serve with chimichurri sauce for dipping.
