Steak Fajita Skewers with Cilantro Pesto ~ a fresh, colorful spin on fajitas that’s just as fun to make as it is to eat. Serve them straight off the skewer or pile everything over rice or tortillas.
Cut the steak into bite sized cubes, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Toss with the dry rub spice mix. If you want to do this up to a day ahead, load the meat into a heavy duty zip lock bag and refrigerate. When ready to cook, thread the beef onto 4 skewers.
Cut the peppers and onion into bite sized pieces as well and thread onto 4 skewers.
Lay out the skewers on a baking sheet and brush with olive oil Sprinkle with salt. Place the pan on the 2nd to highest position under the broiler and broil on high for about 5 minutes each side. The veggies should be golssy and slightly charred. The meat should be medium rare. Note: I cook the veggies first, then the meat.
chimichurri
With your food processor running, drop in the garlic and shallot and process until they are finely minced.
Fill the bowl of the processor with the rest of the ingredients and pulse/process until it becomes a brilliant green sauce, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary to get everything incorporated. Take a taste to adjust any of the flavors. If it tastes a bit bitter, add a tiny amount of sugar. Keep refrigerated.
Serve your fajitas on or off the skewer, with rice, couscous, or tortillas. Drizzle with lots of chimichurri
