Citrus-Rubbed Beef Sirloin and Fruit Kabobs
Ingredients
1 sirloin steak (1 lb.) cubed
1 medium orange
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp ground red pepper
4 cups cubed mango, watermelon, peaches, and plums
Preparation
Grate, peel, and squeeze 2 Tbsp of juice from orange; reserve juice. Combine grated orange peel, cilantro, paprika, and ground red pepper in a small bowl. Cut steak into 1 ¼ inch pieces. Place beef, cilantro mixture in a plastic bag; turn to coat. Marinate beef in refrigerator for 15 minutes to 2 hours.

Soak eight 9-inch bamboo skewers in water for 10 minutes; drain. Thread beef evenly on four skewers and fruit on the remaining four.Â

Place kabobs on grill over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill kabobs, covered for 5-7 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill 7-9 minutes) cooking to medium-rare 145° F, turning occasionally. Grill fruit kabobs 5-7 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown, turning once.
Drizzle reserved orange juice over fruit kabobs. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
