Whisk together the chili powder, cumin, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
2
Place the steak cubes, two-thirds of the olive oil for steak and vegetables, and half of the seasoning mix into a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Seal and massage to coat the steak. Let rest for several minutes or marinate in the fridge overnight for more flavor.

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.

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.
