Ingredients

• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• ½ cup fresh orange juice
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon cumin
• 4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
• 1 (16 ounce) sirloin steak (1 inch thick), cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces
• 8 (12-inch) wooden skewers, soaked in water 30 minutes
• 2 (10 ounce) zucchini, cut on a long diagonal into 1/2-inch-thick slices

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Mash garlic to a paste with salt using a mortar and pestle or flat side of a large knife, then whisk together with orange juice, lime juice, olive oil, cumin and oregano in a bowl.

Step 2

Preheat an outdoor grill to medium-high heat (375 degrees F to 450 degrees F).

Step 3

Thread beef on 4 skewers, leaving a little space between each piece. Put skewers on a baking sheet and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper. Thread zucchini onto 4 skewers so slices can grill cut sides down, then transfer to baking sheet. Lightly brush beef and zucchini all over with oil.

Step 4

Lightly oil grate and grill beef, covered with lid, turning once, about 4 minutes total for medium rare. Transfer to a serving platter and cover with foil to keep warm.

Step 5

Lightly oil grate again and grill zucchini, covered with lid, turning once, until grill marks appear and zucchini is just tender, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer skewers to a serving platter. Drizzle beef and zucchini with about half of sauce, and serve remaining sauce on the side.
