Ingredients
  

1 lb flank steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

For the Herb Butter:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped

Zest of 1 lemon (for brightness)

Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak:

    - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and dried rosemary until well combined.

      - Add the cubed flank steak to the bowl, tossing it gently to ensure each piece is thoroughly coated with the marinade.

        - Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes, and up to 2 hours for an extra burst of flavor.

          Prepare the Herb Butter:

            - In a separate small mixing bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, chopped chives, and lemon zest.

              - Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and a generous dash of freshly cracked black pepper, mixing until all ingredients are incorporated and the butter is creamy.

                - Transfer the herb butter onto a sheet of parchment paper, shaping it into a tight log. Roll up the parchment paper and twist the ends to seal, then refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until firm.

                  Skewer the Steak:

                    - Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning on the grill.

                      - Thread the marinated steak cubes onto the skewers, leaving a small gap between each piece for maximum heat circulation and even cooking.

                        Grill the Skewers:

                          - Once the grill reaches the right temperature, carefully place the skewers on it. Grill the steak skewers for approximately 3-4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until they achieve your preferred level of doneness (medium-rare: 130°F, medium: 140°F).

                            - Keep an eye on the skewers to ensure they brown evenly and do not overcook.

                              Serve:

                                - After grilling, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.

                                  - Slice the firm herb butter into rounds, and place a pat on each warm steak skewer, allowing it to melt slightly. Garnish the skewers with freshly chopped parsley for an added pop of color.

                                    Enjoy!

                                      - Serve the Tender Herb Butter Steak Skewers warm, accompanied by your choice of sides like grilled seasonal vegetables, fluffy rice pilaf, or a refreshing green salad.

                                          Presentation Tips: Arrange the skewers on a wooden board or platter and drizzle with any remaining melted herb butter for a rustic touch. Add lemon wedges on the side to enhance the aroma and flavor. Enjoy!
