The refrigerator light goes on...

Not long ago I posted a recipe for Peruvian Chicken to the website after having the dish in a restaurant. Truthfully, it is one of my favorite recipes of recent years. I had a similar dish in Chile a few years back and completely forgot about it until recently.

This kabob version was inspired by a meal at a local Peruvian restaurant. It is a typical and traditional rub and is fantastic. Full of flavor and complements this beef well, but would also work great for chicken or shrimp kabobs.

 

Peruvian Beef Kabobs

Servings: 2 | Serving size: 4 ounces beef with mushrooms

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

This recipe can easily be multiplied and makes great leftovers. Note that cooking time does not include marinating time.

Serve with Peruvian Green Sauce, Chili Lime Carrots, and Roasted Potatoes OR Savory Quinoa.

Peruvian Beef Kabobs served with Peruvian Green Sauce, both recipes from Dr. Gourmet

Ingredients

Mince the garlic and place in a small mixing bowl.

Add the cumin, paprika, pepper, oregano, olive oil, soy sauce, and water to the bowl.

Blend well.

Coat the beef and mushrooms well on all sides with the marinade, then place the beef and mushrooms on wooden skewers. Alternate the beef and mushrooms. This should make about 6 total kabobs (3 kabobs per serving).

Place the assembled kabobs on a large plate or Pyrex dish and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cooking.

When ready to cook, heat a griddle to medium hot.

Spray the griddle lightly with the olive oil and place the kabobs on the griddle.

Cook on each side for about 6 to 8 minutes.

Serve.
