Instructions

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
In a bowl, toss the beef cubes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Thread steak, shrimp, bell pepper, and red onion onto skewers, alternating for color and balance.
Place skewers on the grill and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until shrimp are opaque and steak is cooked to desired doneness.
Meanwhile, make the chimichurri sauce by mixing parsley, 1/4 cup olive oil, pomegranate juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Serve hot skewers drizzled generously with the chimichurri sauce.

Notes

Substitute beef with chicken thighs for a lighter or more affordable option.

Use lemon juice or red wine vinegar if pomegranate juice isn’t available.

Add fresh chili or cayenne for extra heat.

Try zucchini or cherry tomatoes instead of bell peppers.

For a vegetarian version, use tofu or halloumi instead of meat and shrimp.

Store leftover skewers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in skillet or toaster oven.

Chimichurri lasts 3–4 days refrigerated and can be used on eggs, rice, or veggies.
