The Meat
- 1 lb top sirloin steak, about 1-inch thick cubes trimmed of excess fat
- 12 ounces chorizo sausages, cut crosswise into 1-in . pieces (fully cooked Spanish-style)
directions
- In a food processor, whirl the parsley and garlic until finely chopped. With machine running, add oil, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water in a steady stream. Season with red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Pour about half of the chimichurri into a small bowl.

- Grill skewers over direct high heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until steak is cooked to your desired doneness, 4 to 6 minutes for medium-rare, turning 2 to 3 times (watch for flare-ups). Serve warm with the reserved chimichurri spooned over the top.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
