Ingredients:

  • 2 pounds beef Inside Skirt Steak (pounded 1/8 to 1/4-inch thick)
  • 1 zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise (1/8 to 1/4-inch thick)
  • 1 yellow squash, thinly sliced lengthwise (1/8 to 1/4 inch thick)
Sauce and Marinade:
  • 4 limes, juiced
  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 small Spanish onion, peeled and quartered
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground chiles de arbol

Cooking:

  1. In a food processor or blender container, combine lime juice, oil, vinegar, onion, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper, oregano and ground chiles de arbol. Blend together until smooth; set aside. 
  2. Add half of marinade in a food-safe plastic bag. Add beef, zucchini and squash. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  3. Alternately thread beef and vegetables onto metal skewers. Sprinkle with steak and rub seasoning.
  4. Cook's Tip: If using wooden skewers, soak in water 10 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
  5. Place kabobs on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, 9 to 12 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 8 to 10 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning once. Remove from grill.
  6. Serve kabobs drizzled with remaining reserved sauce.
