How to Make Chili Lime Cumin Beef Skirt Steak Skewers

  1. Cut 1 lb beef skirt steak crosswise into 3 equal pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup lime juice, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp chipotle pepper in adobo sauce (finely chopped), 1 tbsp ground cumin, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper.
  3. Place beef and marinade in a food-safe plastic bag.
  4. Turn beef to coat thoroughly.
  5. Seal bag securely and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor).
  6. Soak twelve 9-inch bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  7. Drain skewers.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables: In a medium bowl, combine 1 lb tomatillos (husked and quartered), 2 anaheim peppers (seeded and chopped), and 1 medium red onion (cut into 1-inch wedges).
  9. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and toss to coat.
  10. Set aside.
  11. Thread vegetables evenly onto six skewers, alternating pieces.
  12. Remove beef from marinade, discarding marinade.
  13. Insert remaining skewers into beef pieces, following the grain of the meat.
  14. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
  15. Place beef skewers on the hot grill grates.
  16. Grill uncovered, 10 to 13 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, turning occasionally, until desired internal temperature is reached (130-140°F for medium-rare, 140-150°F for medium).
  17. Place vegetable skewers on the grill around the beef skewers.
  18. Grill uncovered, 6 to 8 minutes, or until tender-crisp, turning once.
  19. Remove skewers from grill.
  20. Let rest for 5 minutes before cutting beef between skewers to make individual servings.
  21. Season beef and vegetable skewers with salt and pepper to taste.
  22. Serve immediately with red pepper-mango salsa (recipe #69592) or chipotle cream (recipe #69593).
