Treat your taste buds to a fiesta with these zesty Mexican Inspired Kebabs! Tender beef sirloin steak, vibrant bell peppers, and a medley of spices come together for a burst of flavor on your grill. Marinate the meat and veggies for a full day to let those bold Mexican flavors infuse every juicy bite. Perfect for a summer barbecue or a lively weeknight meal! 😋

Ingredients:

Marinade:

1. In a food processor or blender, combine lemon juice, olive oil, garlic cloves, ground turmeric, salt, and fresh ground pepper.
2. Process until smooth to create a vibrant marinade bursting with flavor. 😍

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Marinade:

   • In a food processor or blender, process all marinade ingredients until smooth.
   • Pour into a medium saucepan and simmer, stirring often, until the mixture reduces by 1/2 – this may take some time.
   • Remove from heat and let cool.
   • Set aside about 1/4 cup of the marinade and store it in the fridge separately.

2. Marinate the Meat and Peppers:

   • Once the marinade has cooled, combine the remaining marinade with the beef sirloin steak and bell peppers.
   • Cover and marinate in the fridge for 12 hours, turning occasionally to ensure all sides soak up the delicious flavors.

3. Grill the Kebabs:

   • When you’re ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
   • Drain the marinade from the meat and peppers, discarding any excess.
   • Thread the marinated meat and peppers onto metal skewers, alternating for a colorful presentation.
   • Grill the kebabs, turning often and basting with the 1/4 cup reserved marinade, for about 20 minutes or until the meat is cooked to your liking.
   • Keep an eye on them, as the sizzle and aroma will have your neighbors peeking over the fence! 🔥👀

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve these sizzling kebabs hot off the grill, accompanied by a side of Mexican rice and a dollop of guacamole.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime for an extra burst of flavor.
• Don’t forget the tortillas or warm, fluffy rice to soak up any leftover marinade! 🌮🍚
