Spicy Island Beef Kebabs

Using sweet spices like allspice to flavor meat and veggies is a classic flavor profile of Jamaican cooking. Adding plantains to the kebab brings not only the spices but the vegetables of the Caribbean to your grill.

Ingredients

  • Marinade:

    • ½ cup chopped green onion
    • 1 Tbsp. allspice
    • 2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar
    • ¼ tsp. thyme
    • 2 tsp. low-sodium soy sauce
    • ½ tsp. cinnamon
    • ⅛ tsp. nutmeg
    • 2 serrano peppers, seeded

    Kebabs:

    • 1½ lbs. boneless top sirloin, trimmed and cubed
    • 1 bell pepper, chopped
    • 2 plantains, peeled and cubed

    Optional Garnishes*:

    • Green onions, sliced on the diagonal
    • Lime wedges

Directions

  1. Combine marinade ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Place marinade, beef, and bell pepper in a large freezer bag. Marinate in refrigerator (30 minutes – 24 hours).
  2. When ready to assemble kebabs, soak 6 (12″) skewers in cold water (10 minutes).
  3. Remove beef and bell pepper pieces from bag and discard marinade. Thread pieces of beef, pepper, and plantain alternately onto skewers. Lightly coat kebabs with cooking spray.
  4. Heat grill to medium-high. Place kebabs on grill rack. Cook to desired doneness (4 minutes per side for medium-rare). Garnish with green onions and lime wedges.
