Anticuchos
Anticuchos are an easy chili-marinated skewer from Peru that are a delicious addition to your BBQ.
Servings: 3 (approx)
Ingredients
- 1 lb beef sirloin tips (or other cut good for grilling)
- 3 tablespoon aji panca (or other medium-heat chili paste)
- 3 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ½ teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Cut the beef into roughly 1 ½ in cubes.
- Mix together the remaining ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and add the beef chunks. Cover and refrigerate overnight, or at least a few hours.
- When ready to grill, thread the beef cubes onto skewers. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (you should be able to hold you hand a few inches from the grates for 4-6 seconds). Cook the kebabs until the beef is cooked through (slightly pink is fine), turning as needed to cook evenly.
Notes
These would typically be served with boiled potatoes and/or corn (ideally large Peruvian corn if you can get it) and aji amarillo mixed with a little chopped scallion/onion and a pinch of salt to dip the meat in.
