Whether you’re a grilling pro or just starting out, these Filet Mignon Skewers with Chimichurri will easily come together in 20 minutes (or less) and will absolutely blow your mind. You can use any steak, but I always prefer filet mignon because it’s so tender and not too fatty. Normally it’s difficult to cook because it’s so thick, but by cutting it up into bite-sized pieces it cooks way faster and more evenly. Buy it when it goes on sale and pop it in the freezer until you’re ready to cook it! Feel free to add some zucchini, onions and bell pepper to the skewers for some veggies or cook them on the side. You can serve it with rice for dinner or just plain as an app with some toothpicks for dipping. It’s really impossible to mess up this recipe and I promise you’ll make it again and again 😋
