Ingredients
- 1 packet taco seasoning about 30 g
- 240 ml tomato juice
- 30 ml canola oil
- 900 g beef top sirloin steak cut into 2.5 cm (1-inch) cubes
- 1 medium green bell pepper about 150 g, cut into chunks

- 1 large onion about 200 g, cut into wedges
- 16 cherry tomatoes about 200 g
Optional for Serving

Instructions
Prepare the marinade
- In a large shallow dish, combine the taco seasoning, tomato juice, and canola oil. Mix well until fully blended.
- Reserve 120 ml (½ cup) of the marinade for basting and refrigerate it.
Marinate the beef
- Add the beef cubes to the remaining marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 5 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
Assemble the skewers
- Drain and discard the marinade from the beef.
- Thread the beef, green pepper, red pepper, onion, and cherry tomatoes alternately onto metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers.
Grill
- Preheat the grill to medium heat.
- Place the skewers on the grill, uncovered, and cook for about 3 minutes per side. Baste with the reserved marinade while grilling.
- Continue turning and basting until the beef reaches your desired doneness, about 8–10 minutes total.
Serve
- Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot. If desired, serve with salsa con queso or sour cream on the side for dipping.
