Cowboy Steak And Pepper Kebabs Recipes

STEAK KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut steak, peppers and onion into equal sized pieces (about 1-1.5")
• In a large freezer bag, combine the oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, honey, onion powder and chipotle powder if using.
• Add steak and let marinate for at least one hour, and up to 8 hours (see notes above regarding marinade times)
• If using wooden skewers, soak for 10 minutes before skewering your beef and vegetables.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• Skewer your beef cubes and vegetables, alternating as you like. I try to ensure 3-5 cubes of beef per skewer, depending on how long your skewers are.
• Place kabobs directly over the heat, cooking for 4-5 minutes before flipping and cooking another 4-5 minutes. See notes above for cook times depending on your preference for doneness.

COWBOY KABOBS

Steps:

• Mix first 3 ingredients until well blended.
• Thread meat onto 18 skewers; place onion or pepper strip at end of each skewer. Place kabobs in shallow glass dish. Pour steak sauce mixture over kabobs. Refrigerate 1 hour to marinate, turning occasionally.
• Heat grill to medium heat. Remove kabobs from marinade; discard marinade. Grill kabobs 4 to 6 min. or until meat is done, turning occasionally.

BOURBON-MUSTARD STEAK KEBABS

Steps:

• Make the marinade: Heat the vegetable oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the thyme, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is softened, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, carefully add the bourbon and then return to the heat. Simmer until reduced by more than half, about 5 minutes. Pour into a large bowl; whisk in the brown sugar, mustard and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let cool to room temperature.
• Add the steak to the bowl, toss well and let marinate in the refrigerator 2 to 6 hours.
• Soak twelve 8- to 10-inch skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent scorching. Preheat a grill to medium high. Drain the steak, discarding the garlic and thyme. Thread the steak and red onion onto the skewers. Season all over with salt and pepper.
• Oil the grill grates. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until the onion and steak are well charred, 4 to 7 minutes for medium doneness.

COWBOY KABOBS

Steps:

• Soak 16 (10 inch) wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes.

• Thread steak strips onto skewers; place 1 onion or pepper strip on end of each skewer.
• Place kabobs in glass dish; coat with steak sauce mixture.
• Cover; chill 1 hour, turning occasionally.
• Grill kabobs over medium heat for 4 to 6 minutes or to desired doneness, turning occasionally.
• Serve immediately.

PANEER TIKKA KEBABS

Steps:

• For the marinade: Heat the mustard seed oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the besan and stir constantly until golden brown and toasted, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Place the yogurt, lime juice, tandoori masala, paprika, chili powder, mustard powder, turmeric, garlic, chiles, ginger, fenugreek leaves (if using), reserved besan mixture and 1 tablespoon salt in a large bowl and mix well. It should have the consistency of hollandaise sauce; if it's too thick, add 1 or 2 tablespoons water and mix well.
• For the skewers: Gently mix together the paneer and just enough marinade to coat in a medium bowl, being careful not to break the paneer. Add the tomatoes, peppers and onions to the bowl with the remaining marinade and toss until thoroughly coated. Cover both bowls and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 8 hours.
• When ready to grill, preheat a grill to medium-high.
• Meanwhile, thread the tomatoes, peppers, onions and paneer in an alternating pattern on 12 metal skewers, letting any excess marinade drip off, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
• When the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates. Lay the skewers on the grates and grill, uncovered, until grill marks form on the bottom of the paneer, about 3 minutes. Flip the skewers, brush with the melted butter and cook just until grill marks form on the other side, about 3 minutes more. (It's important not to overcook the paneer as it can become hard and rubbery.)
• Slide the paneer and vegetables off the skewers onto a platter. Garnish with cilantro and drizzle with some Cilantro-Yogurt Chutney. Serve with the remaining chutney for dipping.
• Combine the cilantro, yogurt, chiles, garlic, lime zest, lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a blender and process until smooth. It should be the consistency of a creamy salad dressing. If it's too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Taste and add more lime juice and/or salt, if needed.

HEALTHY SAUSAGE IN A PEPPER

Steps:

• Halve the peppers lengthwise, remove the stem and discard the seeds. Put in a large microwave-safe bowl and toss with a splash of water and a large pinch of salt. Cover with plastic wrap and cut a slit in the center to allow steam to escape using a paring knife. Microwave at 100 percent power until the peppers are soft and pliable, 5 to 7 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add the sausages, cut-side down. Cook until browned on both sides, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
• Lower the heat to medium, add the onion and remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the sausages back to the skillet and pour in the marinara and 1/4 cup water. Bring to a low simmer and cook until the sausages and sauce are warmed through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the parsley and set aside.
• Arrange the pepper halves on a work surface cut-side up. Put a chicken sausage half in a pepper half with some of the sauce and onions and fold up like a taco. Wrap halfway in wax paper. Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 3 more tacos and serve immediately.

COWBOY STEAK WITH COFFEE AND CHILI RUB

Steps:

• Spray a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and preheat it over medium-high heat. In a small bowl combine all the ingredients for the rub and coat the steak well on both sides. Cook steak for 14 minutes, turning once, for medium to medium-rare. Allow steak to sit for 5 minutes before slicing.
