Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 pounds (1/2-inch-thick) boneless chuck blade steaks (sometimes called chicken steaks) or steak tips, gristle trimmed if necessary and meat cut into 2-inch pieces
1 pound small tomatoes such as Campari or Baby Roma (about 2 inches wide)
3/4 pound okra, trimmed, leaving tops intact
Equipment
16 (12-inch) metal skewers

Steps:

  • Marinate steak:
  • Whisk together shallot, vinegar, mustard, sugar, 1 tsp salt, and 3/4 tsp pepper. Add 1/2 cup oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
  • Toss steak with 1/2 tsp salt, then marinate in a sealed bag with 6 Tbsp vinaigrette, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 2 hours. Chill remaining vinaigrette.
  • Make kebabs:
  • Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas).
  • Meanwhile, toss tomatoes and okra with remaining 3 Tbsp oil and 1/4 tsp salt. Thread tomatoes onto 3 or 4 skewers. Thread okra crosswise onto pairs of parallel skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces. Put on a tray.
  • Thread steak onto remaining skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces (discard marinade). Put on another tray.
  • Oil grill rack, then grill steak skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, about 5 minutes total for medium-rare (about 8 minutes if using steak tips). Transfer to a platter. Drizzle with some of remaining vinaigrette while hot and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Grill tomato and okra skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until tomatoes just begin to wilt and okra is tender, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to platter with steak and serve with any remaining reserved vinaigrette.

I love the idea of using different vegetables in these kebabs. I think I'll try them with zucchini and bell peppers.

I'm not sure about the okra, but the rest of the kebabs sound great. I might try them without the okra.

These kebabs were a great way to use up some leftover steak. They were easy to make and very flavorful. I will definitely be making them again.

I'm not a fan of steak, but I really enjoyed these kebabs. The steak was cooked perfectly and was very tender. The tomatoes and okra were also delicious.

I love the idea of these kebabs, but I found them to be a little too salty. I think I would reduce the amount of salt in the marinade next time.

Overall, I thought these kebabs were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

The kebabs were easy to make, but the okra was a little slimy. I think I would have preferred to use zucchini or another vegetable instead.

These kebabs were a little dry for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if I had marinated the steak for longer.

I made these kebabs for my family and they all loved them! Even my picky kids ate them without complaint. I will definitely be making these again soon.

These kebabs are so flavorful and juicy! I marinated the steak for a few hours before cooking, which really helped to tenderize it. The tomatoes and okra were also cooked perfectly.

I'm not a big fan of okra, but I really enjoyed these kebabs. The okra was perfectly cooked and didn't have any of the slimy texture that I usually associate with it.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The steak is savory, the tomatoes are sweet, and the okra adds a bit of tartness. The kebabs are also really easy to make, so they're perfect for a weeknight meal.

These steak, tomato, and okra kebabs were a hit at my last barbecue! The meat was juicy and flavorful, the tomatoes were sweet and tangy, and the okra added a nice crunch. I will definitely be making these again.
