Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick
- 1 teaspoon coarse grind black pepper
- 1 large lime, cut into 8 wedges
- 1 small red onion, cut into 8 thin wedges
- 1 container grape or cherry tomatoes (about 10 ounces)
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
-
Whisk Mojo Sauce ingredients in small bowl. Set aside.
-
Cut beef steak into 1-1/4 inch pieces; season with pepper.
-
Alternately thread beef with lime and onion wedges evenly onto four 12-inch metal skewers. Thread tomatoes evenly onto four 12-inch metal skewers.
-
Place kabobs on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill tomato kabobs, uncovered, about 2 to 4 minutes or until slightly softened, turning occasionally. Grill beef kabobs, uncovered, about 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally.
-
Serve kabobs drizzled with sauce.
Notes
-
To make lime wedges, cut lime crosswise in half. Cut each half into quarters, forming wedges.
-
When cutting onion into wedges for kabobs, leave root end intact so wedges hold together during skewering.
