Ingredients
  

1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

8-10 wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Marinade: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, parsley, kosher salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir thoroughly until the ingredients are well incorporated, forming a flavorful herb butter marinade.

    Marinate the Steak: Take the cubed sirloin steak and place it in a large resealable plastic bag or a deep mixing bowl. Pour half of the herb butter mixture over the beef, ensuring that the cubes are well coated. Reserve the remaining herb butter for later. Seal the bag tightly or cover the bowl, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours) to allow the flavors to infuse.

      Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, ideally around 400-450°F. If you're using a grill pan, preheat it over medium-high heat on the stovetop until hot.

        Skewer the Steak: After marinating, remove the steak from the refrigerator. Carefully thread the steak cubes onto the skewers, making sure to leave a small gap between each piece. This spacing helps the steak cook evenly.

          Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally to ensure even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to check for desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium).

            Baste with Remaining Herb Butter: In the final minutes of grilling, use a brush to generously apply the reserved herb butter mixture over the skewers. This adds extra flavor and a luscious finish to the steak.

              Rest the Skewers: Once cooked to your liking, carefully remove the skewers from the grill. Allow them to rest for about 5 minutes. This resting period helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor.

                Serve: Arrange the herb butter steak skewers on a serving platter. Pair with your choice of sides—grilled vegetables, fragrant rice, or a fresh leafy salad work beautifully. Drizzle any leftover melted herb butter over the skewers before serving for an extra burst of flavor.
