Description
Tender Peruvian-style steak kabobs with marinated inside skirt steak, fresh zucchini and yellow squash, grilled to juicy perfection and served with a tangy chili-lime sauce.
Ingredients
2 pounds beef Inside Skirt Steak (pounded 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick)
1 zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise (1/8 to 1/4-inch thick)
1 yellow squash, thinly sliced lengthwise (1/8 to 1/4-inch thick)
Sauce and Marinade:
4 limes, juiced
1 cup canola oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 small Spanish onion, peeled and quartered
1 tablespoon garlic, minced
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
1/2 teaspoon ground chiles de arbol
1 tablespoon Cowboy Steak & Roast Rub
Instructions
- Combine lime juice, canola oil, red wine vinegar, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, oregano, and ground chiles de arbol in a food processor or blender; blend until smooth and set aside.
- Pour half the marinade into a food-safe plastic bag. Add beef, zucchini, and yellow squash; seal and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Thread beef and vegetables alternately onto metal skewers. Sprinkle kabobs with Cowboy Steak & Roast Rub.
- If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 10 minutes before use.
- Preheat grill or griddle over medium heat. Grill kabobs 9–12 minutes over medium coals or 8–10 minutes on gas grill, turning once; cook to medium rare (145°F) or medium (160°F).
- Remove kabobs and serve drizzled with remaining reserved sauce.
Notes
- Substitute zucchini and yellow squash with bell peppers and cherry tomatoes for variety.
- Increase ground chiles de arbol or add cayenne pepper for spicier flavor.
- Use flank steak instead of inside skirt steak if desired.
- Charcoal grill adds smoky flavor; gas grill works well too.
- Ensure steak rub is gluten-free if needed.
