6. Leave the skewers to rest for 2 minutes and serve them with the chimichurri.

Good to know

In Spain, small skewers are part of every round of tapas. Here, you get rump steak with peppers and the Argentinian herb sauce chimichurri. You can make the sauce the day before, and the skewers only need 8 minutes.

Swaps
