CB's Beef Skewers "On Fire"

• 1 1/2 lb beef tri-tip or sirloin, trimmed of fat and cut into 1-inch cubes
• 4 12-inch metal skewers
• 4 small yellow onions cut in quarters
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 1 green bell pepper
• 1 red bell pepper

Marinade

• 1/2 cup Chinese-style hot mustard
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• Tabasco or other hot sauce
• Juice from 1/2 fresh lime
• 5 Tbsp garlic, crushed
• 1 Tbsp powdered ginger
• 1 tsp cumin
• dried red pepper flakes

In large nonreactive bowl, whisk together the marinade ingredients. Remove and reserve 1/2 cup for basting while skewers grill.

Ad beef cubes and marinade to large sealable plastic bag. Seal bag, and refrigerate for up to 4 hours.

Remove the beef cubes from the bag, and discard the marinade.

Thread beef, onions, and peppers onto each of four 12-inch metal skewers. Grill on medium-hot grates, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes for medium-rare to medium doneness, basting frequently with reserved 1/2-cup marinade and turning occasionally. When finished grilling, squeeze remaining half of lime over skewers, and, serve immediately.

Makes 4 servings.
