Mojo Beef Kabobs

Mojo sauce is a classic combination of lime, garlic and oregano. It is also great with whole grilled steaks such as flank or top loin steaks.

Total preparation and cooking time: 40 minutes

 

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)

Mojo Sauce:

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

 

1.    Whisk Cuban-Garlic Citrus Sauce ingredients in small bowl. Set aside.

2.    Cut beef steak into 1-1/4 inch pieces; season with pepper.

3.    Alternately thread beef with lime and onion wedges evenly onto four 12-inch metal skewers. Thread tomatoes evenly onto four 12-inch metal skewers.

4.    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.
