About

Is it weird to hold your pinky out while eating a skewer hot off the grill? With Fancy Steak Skewers, we definitiely think so! Juicy, savory cubes of steak with bright tomatoes and sharp red onions are all grilled together until charred and just perfect. And then they're served with an ultra-herbaceous, homemade chimichurri — the perfect steak sauce if ever there was one! Fancy Steak Skewers are sophisticated grill food like you've never tasted before.
