Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 - 2 lbs boneless beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Marinade
  • 1 large onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
  • 6 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 -4 scotch bonnet chile, coarsely chopped (or 4-6 jalapenos)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup peanut oil
  • Kebabs
  • 2 large green bell peppers, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 large onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups peanut flour (see note)

Method

  • Place beef in a large baking dish and set aside.
  • Combine pepper, onion, garlic, chilies, ginger, salt and pepper in a food processor.
  • Process until finely chopped.
  • Add oil and process into a smooth paste.
  • Add mixture to beef and toss thoroughly to coat.
  • Cover and refrigerate 2-3 hours.
  • Preheat grill to high.
  • Remove beef and thread it onto skewers, alternating with pieces of pepper and onion.
  • Place peanut flour on a large plate.
  • Roll the kebabs in the peanut flour until generously coated.
  • Oil the grill grate.
  • Grill kebabs, turning with tongs, until beef is cooked to taste, 2-3 minutes per side (8-12 minutes total) for medium-rare.
  • Note: if you can't find peanut flour, combine 1 1/4 cups dry-roasted peanuts and 1/4 cup all purpose flour in a food processor. Pulse until mixture is finely ground. Be careful not to overprocess or you'll have peanut butter.
