Cubes of sirloin marinate in a smoky chipotle blend before grilling on skewers with peppers and onion, then get brushed with a sticky honey glaze as they char. The result is tender, caramelized beef with a balance of heat and sweetness, ideal for weeknight grilling or backyard gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Method

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the minced chipotle peppers, 1 tablespoon of the honey, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.

  3. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining 2 tablespoons honey with 1 tablespoon of the marinade liquid to make a glaze; set aside.

  4. Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes if using, or prepare metal skewers. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

  5. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion.

  6. Grill the kebabs, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until the beef is charred on the outside and cooked to medium doneness, about 10 to 12 minutes total.

  7. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, brush the kebabs generously with the honey glaze, turning to coat evenly and allow slight caramelization.

  8. Transfer the kebabs to a platter, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and serve warm.
