#38 Peruvian Kabobs

I love entertaining people. Not in the comedic or performing sense, but in the hosting and having people over sense. This week, Walter helped me host a little Peruviandinner party with some friends. While he did most of the work with the main dish: ceviche. I marinated some meat and made some kabobs along with apple crisp for the sweet tooth. We made a good team serving dinner this week and here's a yummy recipe from Peru to try if you please.

Peruvian Kabobs

Ingredients:

1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces

3 tbsp. red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons paprika (use aji amarillo if you can find it!!)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 - 2 onions chopped into chunks for skewers

1 - 2 green peppers chopped into chunks for skewers

Fiery Rub:

1 teaspoon ground paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

3 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

cooking spray

Directions:

1. To prepare the beef, combine the first 7 ingredients in a large bowl; toss well. Cover and Chill 3 hours.

2. To prepare fiery rub, combine 1 tsp. paprika, 1 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. pepper, turmeric and

parsley.

3. Prepare grill or oven. (We baked ours, because we don't have a grill!)

4. Remove beef from bowl, discarding marinade. Thread beef along with onions and peppers onto skewers. Press fiery rub onto beef. Place kebabs on grill rack or baking dish in the oven. Grill for 6 minutes or until desired doneness, turning once.
