How to Make Anticuchos Peruvian Beef Kebabs

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes, with 1/4 cup white vinegar, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. Toss the beef to ensure it's thoroughly coated in the marinade.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor.
  4. While the beef marinates, prepare the fiery rub: In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon paprika (hot paprika or aji amarillo if available), 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Remove the beef from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Discard the marinade.
  7. Thread the beef cubes onto 6 skewers.
  8. Generously coat the kebabs with the fiery rub, pressing it gently into the beef.
  9. Lightly spray your grill rack with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  10. Place the kebabs on the preheated grill rack. Grill for 6-8 minutes per side, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and beautiful grill marks.
