Ingredients
  

1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped

2 tablespoons fresh thyme, finely chopped

2 teaspoons smoked paprika

Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

8 wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning)

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

Zest and juice of 1 large lemon

Instructions
 

Marinate the Steak: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, chopped thyme, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar until thoroughly combined. Add the sirloin steak cubes to the marinade, tossing gently to ensure each piece is well coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or preferably up to 2 hours to enhance the flavors.

    Prepare the Herb Butter: In a small mixing bowl, blend the softened butter with the lemon zest, lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. Scoop the butter mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap and roll it into a log shape. Twist the ends to seal and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

      Assemble the Skewers: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, take the marinated steak and thread the cubes onto your skewers, making sure to leave a small gap between each piece for even cooking.

        Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the hot grill. Grill for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally to achieve an even cook. Check for doneness, aiming for medium-rare, which registers at about 130°F on a meat thermometer.

          Add the Herb Butter: After removing the skewers from the grill, immediately place a slice of the prepared herb butter on top of each hot skewer. The heat from the steak will melt the butter, creating a rich, flavorful sauce over the meat.

            Serve: Optionally garnish the skewers with extra fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor. Serve hot alongside your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, fluffy rice, or a refreshing salad. Indulge in the warm, buttery goodness of these steak skewers!
