Espetadas (Beef Skewers)
Traditional Portuguese beef skewers, seasoned simply and grilled to perfection. Enjoy with dairy-free sides for a complete meal.
Ingredients
- about 680 g Beef Sirloin
- 4 cloves Garlic
- 4 leaves Bay Leaves
- 1/4 cup Red Wine
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Cut the about 680 g Beef Sirloin into 2.54 cm cubes. Peel and mince the 4 cloves Garlic. In a large bowl, combine the beef cubes, minced garlic, 4 Bay Leaves, 1/4 cup Red Wine, 2 tbsp Olive Oil, 1 tsp Salt, and 1/2 tsp Black Pepper. Mix everything together thoroughly to coat the beef. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight.
- 2Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers. You can alternate the beef cubes with the 4 Bay Leaves from the marinade if you like.
- 3Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This is a temperature of about 204.4°C (200°C).
- 4Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the skewers occasionally. The beef is done when it has a nice brown exterior and an internal temperature of 57°C for medium-rare, or 63°C for medium.
- 5Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps keep the beef juicy.
- 6Serve the Espetadas immediately with your favorite dairy-free sides.
