Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: approx. 5 minutes
For 4 persons
- 800 g beef (rump steak or fillet pieces)
- 1 red onion
- 1 green bell pepper, 1 yellow bell pepper, 1 red bell pepper
- 4 - 6 mushrooms
- 100 ml olive oil
- Espelette pepper (alternatively cayenne pepper) and salt to taste
Preparation
- Wash bell peppers, peel onion, clean mushrooms. Cut bell peppers, onion, and beef into approx. 2.5 cm cubes or pieces, halve mushrooms.
- Thread beef and vegetables alternately onto grill skewers.
- Marinate the finished skewers in a container with a little olive oil and Espelette pepper. For an Asian-inspired taste, you can also use some sesame oil as well as freshly grated ginger and garlic.
- Preheat the gas grill or charcoal grill to medium heat. Only now salt the skewers to taste and then grill for 2-3 minutes on each side.
Chef's Tip:
Never add salt to the marinade, as salt draws water from food (meat, fish, vegetables) and thus impairs preparation.
