Ingredients

  • 1 kg porterhouse (sirloin) steak (rump also works)
  • 1/2 red capsicum bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1/2 small red onion cut into chunks

Mojo Verde

  • 2 cups (a big bunch) coriander
  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar (or wine vinegar or lime juice) (notes)
  • 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup light extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 green chilli, roughly chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 avocado (optional)

Dry Rub

  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions
 

  • Mix together the dry rub ingredients and rub all over both sides of the steaks. Put them in the fridge, covered, for at least 2 hours. Take out of the fridge 1/2 an hour before cooking.

For the Mojo Verde

  • Place all ingredients (except the oil) in the bowl of a food processor. With the processor on low, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until all combined.

For the beef shish kebabs

  • Soak bamboo skewers for at a least 1/2 an hour before cooking
  • Cut the steak into large cubes (about 1.5 inches square).
  • Thread the steak onto bamboo skewers, alternating with capsicum and onion
  • Heat some oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat, then add the skewers a few at a time. Turn the skewers often and cook them for about 5-7 minutes (depending on how well done you like your steak).
  • Serve with salad and the mojo verde sauce.

Notes

  1. I use a standard Australian 20ml tablespoons (4 teaspoons worldwide)

EXPERT TIPS

  • Make sure to soak the bamboo skewers for at least 1/2 an hour before cooking
  • Shish kebabs are meant to cook quickly so stick with cuts of meat suited to fast cooking like sirloin, porterhouse and rump.
  • Make sure to get your grill or pan nice and hot before laying the kebabs on top. This will ensure you get a nice 
  • Cut the pieces about 1.5 inches square. This is a good bite size, will brown perfectly on the outside while leaving the inside tender.
