Skewers are a popular and versatile way to enjoy meats and vegetables combined in a single dish. Their origin dates back to ancient times, when different cultures roasted pieces of meat skewered on sticks over an open fire. In Latin America, skewers have different names depending on the region. For example, in Mexico they are usually called "brochetas," while in Argentina and other countries in the southern cone they are known as "choripanes" or simply "skewered grilled meats." In some Caribbean countries, they are called "pinchos." This dish has evolved by incorporating ingredients specific to each area, but the idea of combining meat and vegetables on a skewer remains the universal essence of brochetas.
Beef, bell pepper, and mushroom skewers
How to Prepare Beef, Bell Pepper, and Mushroom Skewers
To begin this delicious recipe, first remove the fat from the beef steak to ensure a softer texture and avoid excess grease during cooking.
Cut the meat into pieces approximately 3.2 cm (1.25 inches) so they cook evenly and are easy to skewer.
In a large bowl, whisk together the seasoning ingredients, which include fresh lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, dried oregano leaves, and pepper, to create a flavorful marinade.
Add the beef, chopped bell peppers, and mushrooms to the seasoning, mixing everything carefully so the ingredients are well coated with the mixture.
Alternating, thread pieces of beef, bell pepper, and mushrooms onto each of the four 30 cm (12-inch) metal skewers, creating a colorful and appetizing presentation.
Prepare the white and wild rice mixture according to the package directions and keep it warm to accompany the skewers.
Meanwhile, place the kebabs on the rack of a broiler pan, ensuring the surface of the meat is 7.5 to 10 cm (3 to 4 inches) from the heat for ideal cooking.
Broil the kebabs for 9 to 12 minutes for medium to medium-rare doneness, turning them occasionally so they cook evenly.
Season with salt to taste to enhance the flavors right after cooking.
Serve the kebabs with the previously prepared rice and enjoy a simple, delicious recipe perfect for sharing.
This preparation yields 4 servings and the total approximate time between preparation and cooking is 30 minutes.
