Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Beef Fajitas Skewers.
Step 1
Start by grabbing a large glass or ceramic bowl and whisk together some olive oil, fresh lime juice, lime zest, minced garlic, ground cumin, red pepper flakes, and chipotle pepper until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 2
Next, add your beef sirloin cubes to the marinade, tossing them gently to ensure each piece is well-coated in that zesty goodness.
Step 3
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Step 4
This waiting time is crucial as it allows the flavors to meld and infuse into the beef, making every bite deliciously vibrant.
Step 5
While the beef is soaking up those flavors, preheat your outdoor grill to medium-high heat and give the grill grate a light oiling to prevent any sticking.
Step 6
Once your beef has marinated, remove it from the bowl and discard the marinade.
Step 7
Now it’s time to assemble your skewers! Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with colorful pieces of red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and onion for a stunning presentation.
Step 8
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and let them cook for about 4 minutes on each side.
Step 9
You’ll know they’re ready when the beef is nicely browned and the vegetables are tender.
Step 10
Serve these vibrant skewers hot off the grill and enjoy the burst of flavors in every bite!.
