I served these skewers with a side of chimichurri sauce, and it was a perfect match. The tangy sauce really complemented the flavors of the steak.

I added some chopped cilantro to the marinade, and it really brightened up the flavor of the skewers.

I marinated the steak for longer than the recipe called for, and it was even more tender and flavorful. I highly recommend marinating the steak for at least 24 hours.

I didn't have any cumin, so I used chili powder instead. It turned out great!

I had some trouble finding skirt steak at my local grocery store, so I used flank steak instead. It worked out just fine, and the skewers were still delicious.

These skewers were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. He said they were the best skewers he's ever had.
