Skewered Beef with Salsa Cruda

From the TV 7 Morning Show  - January 14, 2005

2 lbs. Lean Sirloin of Beef cut into 16 two ounce pieces

1 cup dry red wine

1 cup Italian dressing

4 – 12” Bamboo skewers (soaked for 30 minutes in water)

1 cup diced onion

1 cup diced green bell pepper

1 cup diced zucchini or yellow squash

1 cup whole kernel corn

2 cups diced tomato

1 tbsp. ground cumin

1 tsp. salt

1 tsp. pepper(cayenne)

1 clove garlic (minced)

1 tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro

½ cup white vinegar

Juice of one lime

1 – 6oz. can chopped green chilies

Combine the beef, wine, and dressing and marinate overnight.  Soaking the skewers in water will prevent them from burning during cooking. Skewer four pieces each of beef, adding onions or peppers (optional). 

In a 14” Teflon pan, add the onion and cook on high heat.  When the onion starts to brown, add the pepper, squash and corn.  Cook the mixture for 3-4 minutes and add the cumin, garlic, salt and pepper.  Cook for another 3-4 minutes and add the tomato, cilantro, vinegar, lime juice and chopped green chilies.
