Beef + Vegetable Pesto Skewers
These have to be one of the best things to ever come off a barbeque
Pesto Vinagrette 4 1/2 Cloves of Garlic 1 1/2 tsp Salt 3 Cups Parsley 1 1/2 Cups Basil 4 Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar (I use a little more) 1 1/2 Tsp Sugar 1 Cup Olive Oil Pepper to taste -Puree the garlic and salt in a food processor -Add the basil and parsley and puree until it's a paste, chop the herbs up as much as possible before adding to the food processor -Slowly add the vinegar, then the sugar, then the oil while pureeing. - Set some of the pesto aside to serve alongside the skewers, about 2 tbsp per person Skewers 1 1/2 lbs Sirloin steak, cut into roughly 1 inch cubes 1 Red Pepper 1 Yellow/Orange Pepper 1 Zuchinni 1 Red Onion -If using wooden skewers, soak in water for at least 20 minutes before using. -Cut the vegetables into roughly 1 inch squares, substitute your own vegetables if desired. -Thread the steak and vegetables onto the skewers. -Cover skewers in the pesto vinagrette and let marinate for around 1 hour. -Cook on the BBQ, brushing the pesto on the skewers. -Serve with the pesto set aside from earlier for dipping. It should serve about 4 people, but when I make them, it usually only serves two, we like to gorge ourselves |
