Spicy Mango Chipotle Beef Kabobs Recipes

MANGO BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• In a small bowl or liquid measuring cup, whisk together Worcestershire sauce, lime juice, ginger, chili powder, and salt.
• Place the sirloin cubes into a shallow dish and cover with the marinade. Cover and let the beef marinate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. (You should be able to hold your hand 4 inches over the cooking grate for 4-5 seconds.)
• If using bamboo skewers, soak the skewers in water for 3-5 minutes to prevent them from charring.
• Skewer the marinated meat and mango cubes, leaving about 2 inches at each side of the skewer for easy turning.
• Place the skewers on the grill and cook, covered 4 minutes.
• Use a spatula to loosen the mango chunks from the grill grate. Then, flip the skewers. (Moving them around as needed to hotter or cooler parts of the grill.) Cover the grill and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
• Serve kebabs as is or use them as a tropical topping for a fresh summer salad.

SPICY BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Cut the beef into 1 1/2 to 1 3/4-inch cubes and place into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor combine the garlic, paprika, turmeric, cumin, salt, pepper and red wine vinegar. With the processor running drizzle in the olive oil.
• Pour the marinade over the meat and toss to coat. Place in the refrigerator in an airtight container or a sealable plastic bag and allow to marinate for 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the meat onto the skewers leaving about 1/2-inch in between the pieces of meat. Place on the grill and cook, with lid lowered, 2 to 3 minutes per side, 8 to 12 minutes in all (8 minutes for rare and 12 for medium). Remove from the heat to aluminum foil, wrap and allow to rest for 2 to 3 minutes prior to serving.

THE BEST SHISH KEBABS

Steps:

• Soak the skewers in water for at least 15 minutes and up to overnight. Pat them dry and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk the vinegar, scallions, Dijon, garlic, sugar, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Put the beef pieces, bell peppers, onions and zucchini in a large resealable plastic bag. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade and pour the rest into the bag and seal. Toss the bag so the meat and vegetables are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Thread the meat and vegetables onto a skewer in the following order: beef, zucchini, red pepper, yellow pepper and onion. Repeat the threading three more times, ending with a piece of beef (there should be 5 pieces of beef and 4 pieces of each vegetable on the skewer). Repeat with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
• Sprinkle the kebabs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill at an angle, uncovered, until deep char marks form and the vegetables start to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the skewers and continue cooking until the beef has reached an internal temperature of 125 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the grill and brush the kebabs with the reserved 1/4 cup marinade. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
