Equipment

  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting Board

  • Metal skewers
  • Pastry brush
  • Serving platter

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb sirloin steak
  • 1/2 cup orange juice (2 whole oranges)
  • 4 tbsp lime juice 2 limes
  • 1 jalapeño diced
  • 1/2 cup cilantro finely chopped
  • 4 cloves of garlic finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp white vinegar
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 red bell pepper
  • 1 yellow bell pepper

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the marinade. Cut the steak into 1 inch bite sized oieces. In a ziplock bag or glass containter,combine the beef, lime juice, orange juice, diced jalapeño, cilantro, garlic, vinegar, vegetable oil, salt, and cumin. Mix the marinade and beef well, massaging the beef to help tenderize it. Place the marinated beef in the fridge for 2-24 hours. Save the marinade.
  • Make the kabobs. Cut the vegetables into uniform 1 inch sized pieces. Alternate the ingredients as you place them on the skewer, making sure each kabob has about 5 pieces of beef on them.
  • Time to grill them! Preheat the grill on medium high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Use a patry brush to brush the remaining marinade on the kabobs, coating them a few times. Cook the kabobs until the beef has an internal temperature of 140 (medium rare). Place them on a serving tray and allow them to rest for 5 minutes. Dig in, mangia!
