Peruvian cuisine is known for its bold flavors and unique spice blends that reflect the country's diverse cultural history. These beef kabobs are inspired by anticuchos, a popular street food in Peru made with marinated meat skewered and grilled over an open flame. The red wine vinegar and hot spices in this recipe are typical of Peruvian cuisine, and the yellow bell pepper adds a refreshing crunch and mild sweetness. This dish is perfect for a summer barbecue or a quick weeknight meal when you're craving something spicy and satisfying.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, whisk together the red wine vinegar, hot red paprika, salt, black pepper, cumin, turmeric, and cilantro.
2.Add in the beef and stir to coat. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
3.Preheat grill to high heat.
4.Thread the marinated beef onto skewers, alternating with pieces of yellow bell pepper. Discard any leftover marinade.
5.Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes per side or until the beef is cooked to your preferred doneness.
6.While the kabobs are cooking, prepare the pepper sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the green onion, white vinegar, water, olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, hot paprika, turmeric, black pepper, and minced garlic.
7.Serve the hot kabobs with the pepper sauce on the side.
