grilled beef kabobs

Grilled Chilean Beef Kabobs with Chimichurri Sauce and Cilantro Rice. An easy flavorful weeknight meal. Substitute cremini mushrooms for the beef for a vegan alternative. If going low- carb, use cauliflower rice!

GRILLED CHILEAN BEEF Kabobs W/ SMOKY CHIMICHURRI

lbs Beef- tenderloin, ribeye, sirloin, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes

Cup oil

lime lime

garlic- finely minced

Tablespoon Badia “complete” Seasoning

salt

pepper

Skewer additions: cherry or grape tomatoes, sweet onions

cilantro

olive oil

lime juice

jalapeno

onion

garlic

coriander

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

water

rice,

¼ cup cilantro- chopped

scallions – chopped

lime

Garnish- lime wedges, chopped cilantro

Cut the beef into cubes and place in a zip lock bag or in a medium bowl.

Mix oil, lime juice and zest, garlic, spices, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Pour over the beef and seal the bag, shaking and mixing so all the beef is coated. Set aside on counter.

In a medium pot, add water and rice, bring to a boil. Cover, simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.

In the mean time, make the Smokey chimichurri. Place all chimichurri ingredients in a food processor, and pulse repeatedly ( 10 to 15 times) until cilantro and onion are all minced well. It need not be smooth, but more like the consistency of pesto. Place in a small bowl. Set aside.

Make the skewers alternating beef, cherry tomato, onion slice, then repeat until skewer is full. You should have about 3- 4 pieces of beef on each skewer.

Grill the skewers over medium high heat, rotating until meat is nicely charred and cooked to desired done-ness.

Place rice in a bowl, squeeze with lime, and scatter the cilantro and scallions overtop.

Serve the beef skewers with the Smokey Chimichurri and the rice.

This looks awesome and I am making it tonight! 

One note, though, the auto-play video is not so good. It blasted through my work computer speakers and I kept scrolling and scrolling and couldn't find the video to turn it off (my mute key is broken, haha, I figured it would be faster to try to find the video rather than navigate to computer sound settings. I was wrong).

If video ads look compelling, I will click them to play. I whitelist my favourite blogs on Ad-Blocker to support their incomes, but as soon as ads blast music or play video without my consent (a click!), I generally stop visiting the site or enable a plugin to stop the video.

Very delicious - have been wanting to try homemade chimichurri for a long time and we'll do it again! I let the meat marinade for a couple of hours and the whole meal, rice and all, was a hit. The only deviation was I used a Pacific pho base (I was out of chicken broth which I always use for rice, quinoa, etc.) for the rice, which was pretty awesome. We had it with a 2013 Beringer Estate zin. 5 stars without a doubt! 

PS: despite my current mess of a website, I left it anyway. Should have some time in Dec to get it going again and will have to share this recipe there!

I made this for dinner last night and it was excellent. The marinade for the steak is probably the best part. Unfortunately, I was lazy about buying smoked paprika and needed to substitute with regular, but we still enjoyed the recipe thoroughly!!!

My fiancé said that this has to be kept in our keeper pile!

We used skirt steak and it was delicious!  Comes together very quickly.  I used only half a jalapeno, but in the future will use whole one.  Very flavorful, we all enjoyed it!

Yummy!  I made this with skirt steak and the whole family loved it!  The meal comes together very quickly and you get quite a big bang for your buck!  We had a little chimichurri sauce leftover after we devoured the meat.  I tossed it with some pasta and had it for lunch the next day!

We loved this recipe!  Made everything in it.  The whole family loved it.  Super flavor filled and would make it again.

I love your site and recipes. I have used one of your recipes every night of the week so far and have the rest of the week planned out with more! Thank you for your inspiration!

So so so delicious! I didn't use the Badia seasoning, I did the other mix and now it is one of our favorite seasoning blends.

Excellent recipe and absolutely delicious.  Made it with  baked potatoes and grilled veggies.   Delicious !!! Will make this for guests !

This is my second time making it! Thank you!  It is awesome!

Made for our friends last night - everyone raved! Perfect summer grilling recipe.  Thanks!

My husband is very picky and he loved this. It’s truly delicious. Will definitely make again.

Sylvia, your site and this recipe specifically is how/when I started enjoying cooking again after decades.

Being vegan/vegetarian helps because I don't feel conflicted about what I make for my husband and I...it brings us happiness and health.

Marinated beef makes these Grilled Beef Kabobs so flavorful. Thread the beef and vegetables for an amazing and easy meal idea.

Grilled Beef Kabobs

soy sauce

lemon (juiced)

Honey

Garlic

black pepper

onion powder

Sirloin Steak (cut into 1 inch pieces)

Bell Peppers (any color, cleaned and cut into 1 inch pieces)

Red Onion (cut into 1 inch pieces)

Garlic Powder

Salt

Pepper

Tablespoons Oil

In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients for marinade.

Cut steak into pieces and add to a large resealable bag.

Pour marinade over steak, seal bag and place in refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.

Toss the vegetables with the oil and season them with garlic powder, salt and pepper.

Remove steak from bag and discard marinade.

Thread steak and vegetables onto skewers.

Heat a grill over medium high heat (approximately 425 degrees F).  Clean the grill grates and rub them with oil to keep the kabobs from sticking to the grates.

Place kabobs onto a hot grill and cook for approximately 8-9 minutes, rotating the kabobs every 2-3 minutes, until the steak reaches an internal temperature for 140-145 degrees F.
