Citrus-Rubbed Beef Top Sirloin and Fruit Kabobs

Ingredients

1 lb beef top sirloin steak center cut, boneless
1 medium orange
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tbsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp ground red pepper (optional)
4 cups mango, watermelon, peaches and/or plums, cubed
fresh cilantro leaves, chopped for garnish

Directions

Grate peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons of juice from orange; reserve juice.

Combine orange peel, cilantro, paprika and ground red pepper, if desired, in a small bowl.

Cut beef steak into 1 1/4 inch pieces.

Place beef and 2 1/2 tablespoons cilantro mixture in a food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat.

Place remaining cilantro mixture and fruit in a separate food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat.

Close bags securely.

Marinate beef and fruit in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to 2 hours.

Soak eight 9-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain.

Thread beef evenly onto four skewers leaving a small space between pieces.

Thread fruit onto the remaining four separate skewers.

Place kabobs on grid over medium, ash-covered coals.

Grill beef kabobs, covered, 5 to 7 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill 7 to 9 minutes) for medium-rare to medium (about 135°F to 145°F) turning occasionally.

Grill fruit kabobs for 5 to 7 minutes or until softened and beginning to brown, turning once.

Drizzle reserved orange juice over fruit kabobs. Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
