Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef skirt steak, cut into strips
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 onion, cut into chunks
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create a marinade.
- Cut beef skirt steak into uniform strips approximately 1-inch wide, ensuring even cooking.
- Place beef strips into the marinade, thoroughly coating each piece. Cover and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to allow flavors to penetrate the meat.
- While meat marinates, prepare bell pepper and onion by cutting into similarly sized chunks to ensure even grilling.
- Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat, approximately 400-450°F.
- Thread marinated beef strips and vegetable chunks alternately onto metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers, leaving small spaces between ingredients for even cooking.
- Brush skewers lightly with remaining marinade before placing on hot grill.
- Grill skewers for 4-5 minutes per side, rotating to achieve nice char marks and desired doneness, typically medium-rare to medium.
- Remove skewers from grill and let rest for 3-4 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy with rice or salad.
Tips
- Marinating Magic: Don't rush the marinating process. Those 15-20 minutes allow the soy sauce and garlic to deeply penetrate the meat, ensuring maximum flavor.
- Uniform Cutting: Cut your beef and vegetables into similar-sized pieces to guarantee even cooking and a professional presentation.
- Skewer Strategy: Leave small spaces between ingredients on the skewer to promote better heat circulation and achieve that perfect char.
- Heat Management: Maintain a medium-high grill temperature (400-450°F) for beautiful grill marks and optimal meat doneness.
- Resting is Crucial: Always let your skewers rest for 3-4 minutes after grilling to redistribute juices, ensuring each bite is succulent and tender.
- Bonus Tip: For extra flavor, consider garnishing with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley just before serving.
