Anticuchos de Carne (Beef Steak)
From Dorothy McNett's recipes at www.dorothymcnett.com. Use as an appetizer, or as a main dish served with a potato dish, quinoa and bean salad , etc. You will need about 6 metal skewers. (Serve with the Coconut Pudding Meat or Fish Side Dish!)
6-8 cloves garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
2 tablespoons mild chile paste (aji panca) or use hot smoked paprika
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 - 1 1/2 pounds tender steak
For a basting sauce, if cooking on outdoor grill
1/4 cup oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 pinch cumin
Crush the garlic (the original recipe said to use a rock to pound it out) and combine with the cumin, chile paste or paprika, vinegar, salt and pepper in a glass or ceramic bowl. Cut the steak into 2 inch chunks and add to the marinade. Refrigerate overnight, or allow to stand at room temperature for about an hour. Heat barbeque grill, or use a stove-top grill pan on the burner. Combine the oil, vinegar and pinch of cumin in a dish. Spear the meat cubes on skewers, using about 5 or 6 pieces per skewer, or how ever they fit and how many people you wish to serve, etc. Place on hot grill or grill pan, basting with the sauce as needed.
