Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound beef Top Sirloin Steak Boneless, cut 1 inch thick
1 medium orange
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)
4 cups cubed mango, watermelon, peaches and/or plums
Salt

Steps:

  • 1)Grate peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice from orange; reserve juice. Combine orange peel, cilantro, paprika, and ground red pepper, if desired, in small bowl.

Marinate beef and fruit in refrigerator 15 minutes to 2 hours. 2)Soak eight 9-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain. Thread beef evenly onto four skewers leaving small space between pieces. Thread fruit onto remaining four separate skewers. 3)Place kabobs on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill beef kabobs, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 9 to 11 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally. Grill fruit kabobs 5 to 7 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown, turning once. 4)Season beef with salt, as desired. Drizzle reserved orange juice over fruit kabobs.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and firm fruits: Choose fruits that are at their peak of freshness for the best flavor and texture. Avoid fruits that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Use a variety of fruits: Combine different types of fruits to create a colorful and flavorful kabob. Some good options include pineapple, mango, strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi.
  • Cut the fruits into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they may not cook through, and if they are too small, they may fall off the skewer.
  • Marinate the fruits: Marinating the fruits in a mixture of citrus juice, sugar, and spices will help them absorb flavor and prevent them from drying out.
  • Skewer the fruits: Use metal or wooden skewers to thread the fruits. Make sure the skewers are long enough so that you can easily flip the kabobs over.
  • Grill or broil the kabobs: Grill or broil the kabobs over medium heat until the fruits are tender and slightly caramelized. Baste the kabobs with the remaining marinade as they cook.

Conclusion:

Citrus-glazed fruit kabobs are a delicious and easy way to enjoy fresh fruits. They are perfect for summer barbecues, parties, or as a healthy snack. With a variety of fruits to choose from and a simple marinade, you can create colorful and flavorful kabobs that everyone will love.
