Let's Prepare

Collect

Gather these ingredients - no prep needed yet.

  • 1 Vietnamese-Style Marinade, Thai-Style Lemongrass Marinade, Balkan Marinade, Beer Marinade, or any paste, or any dry rub
  • 1 ½ pounds boneless beef top loin, sirloin, or hanger steak
  • 1 onion, cut into small wedges
  • (1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces)
  • 1 Coconut Rice, Rice Pilaf, or Crispy Smashed Potatoes
  • 1 Flatbread or Pita Sandwiches

Let's Cook

  1. Step 1.

    Prepare one of the following: Vietnamese-Style Marinade, Thai-Style Lemongrass Marinade, Balkan Marinade, Beer Marinade, or any paste, or any dry rub

  2. Step 2.

    Cut into 1-inch cubes: 1 ½ pounds boneless beef top loin, sirloin, or hanger steak

  3. Step 3.

    Combine the beef in a bowl with: 1 onion, cut into small wedges; (1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces)

  4. Step 4.

    Add the marinade, paste, or rub and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

  5. Step 5.

    Place a broiler pan on a rack set 3 to 4 inches below the heat and preheat the broiler and broiler pan; or prepare a medium-hot grill fire. Thread the meat and vegetables onto skewers. Broil or grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally. Make a small incision in a cube of meat and check the center: It should be slightly less done than desired, for it will continue to cook somewhat off the heat. Serve immediately with: Coconut Rice, Rice Pilaf, or Crispy Smashed Potatoes

  6. Step 6.

    Or use as a filling for: Flatbread or Pita Sandwiches
