Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin tips or other cut good for grilling
  • 3 tablespoon aji panca or other medium-heat chili paste
  • 3 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon garlic minced/crushed
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cut the beef into roughly 1 ½ in cubes.
  2. Mix together the remaining ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and add the beef chunks. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least a few hours.
  3. When ready to grill, thread the beef cubes onto skewers. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (you should be able to hold you hand a few inches from the grates for 4-6 seconds). Cook the kebabs until the beef is cooked through (slightly pink is fine), turning as needed to cook evenly.

Notes

  • These skewers are often served with some very finely chopped onion mixed in with aji amarillo and a little salt to make a kind of spicy relish on the side.
