Chipotle Steak Kebabs
Fire up the grill and make these simple steak kebabs! Steak, veggies, and pineapple are kissed with caramelization, then dipped in an addictive chipotle sauce.
Equipment
- grill
Ingredients
For the marinade:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chipotle sauce I used La Costena, see note*
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- ¾ teaspoon honey
For the kebabs:
- 2 pounds sirloin steak, trimmed
- 1 red onion
- 2 colored bell peppers
- 4 cups pineapple chunks
- wooden skewers
For the chipotle sauce:
- ¼ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup mayo
- 1½ tablespoons chipotle sauce
- ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- ¾ teaspoon honey
Instructions
- Soak the wooden skewers in water so they don't burn on the grill. I lay them in a quarter sheet pan and add enough water to cover them.
- Trim the steak and remove any excess fat, silver skin, or gristle. Cut the steak into 1 ¼ inch cubes. You don't want to cut the steak too small or it will cook too quickly.
- In a large bowl, combine the marinade ingredients including the olive oil, red wine vinegar, chipotle sauce, kosher salt, oregano, and honey. Whisk to combine, then add the steak cubes. Stir well with a spoon, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes and up to 2 hours, stirring halfway through.
- Meanwhile, peel and dice the onion, leaving it in chunks. De-seed and cut the bell peppers into 1 ¼ inch chunks. Toss the veggies with a little bit of olive oil and kosher salt.
- Skewer the veggies, pineapple, and marinaded steak onto the wooden skewers, alternating between the three. Don't push them together too close. Leave a little bit of space so they can cook evenly.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. While it heats up, make the chipotle sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the mayo, sour cream, chipotle sauce, honey, and lime juice. Stir and set aside.
- Once the grill is screaming hot, cook the skewers, turning every couple minutes until the outsides of the steak is caramelized and the inside is still pink, about 8 minutes or so.
Notes
Chipotle sauce is pureed chipotles in adobo. If you can't find it, you can just puree your own or finely chop one.
