Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Beef sirloin
- 3 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, green)
- 1 large Red onion
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 large Avocado
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 Jalapeño (optional)
- 1 tsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Water
- 10 Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Cut the beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes and set aside in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the bell peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces for even cooking.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Thread the marinated beef, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating for a colorful presentation. Repeat until all ingredients are used.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F (200°C). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Grill the skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your preferred doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred.
While the skewers are grilling, make the avocado and cilantro crème. In a food processor or blender, combine the avocado, Greek yogurt, fresh cilantro, jalapeño (if desired), honey, water, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting the water for desired consistency.
Serve the grilled beef skewers hot with a generous dollop of avocado and cilantro crème on the side for dipping or drizzling.
