To make the red chimichurri, place all the ingredients in a small food processor and blitz to a coarse paste then set aside.

Place the beef in a bowl and add the salt, pepper, oil, vinegar and garlic. Toss to coat then thread the beef on to the skewers.

Heat a griddle pan or barbecue over high heat. Cook the beef skewers, turning occasionally, for 15-18 minutes for medium-rare.

Add the lemon, cut-side down, to the grill for the last 5 minutes of cooking time.

Serve the skewers on grilled flatbreads and top with hummus, coriander, chimichurri and lemon.
