Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the sirloin steak or beef heart into 1 1/2 inch cubes.
  2. Combine the chopped jalapeno peppers, their juice, and all other marinade ingredients in a non-reactive bowl.
  3. Add the meat cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are fully submerged.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  5. Preheat a grill to high heat or prepare a charcoal fire until very hot.
  6. Thread the marinated meat evenly onto four skewers, shaking off excess marinade.
  7. Grill the skewers over high heat for 1 to 2 minutes per side, turning frequently.
  8. Cook until the meat reaches your desired doneness, typically medium-rare for best texture.

Note

Use a non-reactive dish (glass, ceramic, or plastic) for marinating to prevent chemical reactions with acidic ingredients.

For a spicier kick, leave the seeds in the jalapenos or add extra fresh chili peppers to the marinade.

These skewers can be served as a main course or as hot hors d'oeuvres by cutting smaller pieces of meat.

Pair with cold beer or a citrusy cocktail to balance the heat and richness of the meat.

If using beef heart, ensure it is trimmed of excess fat and connective tissue for a more tender result.
