Recipe: Spanish-Style Beef Kebabs

Spanish-Style Beef Kebabs

12x6 inch wooden skewers
2 lb round steak
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

PAPRIKA DRESSING:
2 teaspoons paprika
large pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil

Soak the skewers in water for 1 hour, or until they sink, to make sure that they don't burn during cooking. Trim the excess fat from the steak anc cut into 1-1/4 inch pieces. Combine the steak, garlic, parsley, lemon juice and pepper in a nonreactive bowl, cover with plastic wrap and marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator. To make the paprika dressing, whisk the paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, vinegar and oil together until well blended. Preheat a lightly oiled barbecue grill or broiler pan. Thread the pieces of marinated meat onto the skewers, then cook the kebabs, turning once, for about 5-6 minutes, or until cooked through. Drizzle with the paprika dressing and serve hot with wedges of lemon or a mixed lettuce salad.
