4. In a food processor, puree cilantro, parsley, jalapeno, garlic, scallions, red wine vinegar, lime juice, and olive oil for chimichurri until smooth. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
5. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.
6. Thread the steak and vegetables onto metal or soaked wooden skewers. Sprinkle with extra salt and pepper.
7. Grill the skewers, turning occasionally, for 7-9 minutes until medium-rare.
8. Serve skewers with cilantro chimichurri.
