Jamaican Beef

Looking for a super kebab recipe for your next cookout? Well, tropical-tasting beef on the grill is "no problem, Mon," 'cause this one's the next best bet to a trip to the islands!

Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons bottled steak sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
• 2 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1/3 cup peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/4 cup flaked coconut
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 pounds top round steak
• 4 to 6 wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine the oil, steak sauce, vinegar, brown sugar, peanut butter, soy sauce, coconut, garlic powder, and salt; blend thoroughly to make a marinade.
    
2. Cut the steak into 1/4-inch strips and place in a medium bowl; add the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
    
3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and, if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 15 to 20 minutes.
    
4. Thread the steak strips lengthwise onto the skewers, 3 to 4 strips per skewer. Grill for 6 to 8 minutes, turning frequently.

Note

You can also use boneless, skinless chicken breasts in this recipe. Be sure to cook them until no pink remains.
