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

Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

8 wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes prior)

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, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, fresh thyme, smoked paprika, a generous pinch of sea salt, freshly cracked pepper, and balsamic vinegar. Add the cubed steak, tossing to coat all sides evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or for up to 2 hours for a richer flavor profile.

    Prepare the Herb Butter: In a small bowl, mix the softened unsalted butter with the lemon zest and juice. Add a light pinch of salt and pepper, then blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Transfer the flavored butter onto a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Shape it into a log and twist the ends to secure. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

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

        Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for approximately 8-10 minutes. Turn them occasionally to achieve an even sear. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; for medium-rare, the steak should read about 130°F (54°C).

          Add the Herb Butter: After grilling, carefully remove the skewers from the grill. Immediately place a slice of the chilled herb butter on top of each skewer of steak. Let the butter melt down over the warm meat, infusing it with rich, herby flavor.

            Serve: Garnish with additional fresh herbs if desired. Serve the skewers warm alongside your choice of delectable sides such as grilled vegetables, fluffy rice, or a crisp green salad. Savor the delicious, buttery goodness!
