Instructions
- Place the steak in a large bowl and set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, place the chopped onion, peanut butter, tomato paste, olive oil, allspice, salt, crushed red pepper and ginger. Continue to blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Transfer the sauce from the food processor on top of the steak, and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to allow the steak to marinade.
- When ready to grill, thread the steak onto wooden or metal skewers without any space in between the chunks. Pour any leftover marinade on top of the kabobs.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, and grease the grill with cooking spray.
- Cook on the preheated grill, flipping once, until meat is browned, about 10-15 minutes.

Notes
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Freezing Instructions: You can freeze the beef kabobs before or after grilling them for up to 3 months. To re-heat, thaw in the fridge overnight and microwave until heated through.
- Make Ahead Tips: You can make the marinade up to 5 days ahead of time or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Instead of fresh onions, you can use onion powder, but I highly recommend using fresh onions.
- Instead of Allspice, you can use 7 spice or another similar spice or combination of spices including cloves, cumin, paprika or nutmeg.
