Sirloin Tip Kabobs and Corn Salad

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs. sirloin tip steak or stew beef
• Produce:
• 1 Bell pepper, medium
• 2 tbsp Cilantro, Fresh
• 2 cups Corn, fresh kernels
• 2/3 cup Grape tomatoes
• 1 tsp Lime, zest
• 1 Lime, wedges
• 1 tsp Oregano
• 1/2 cup Red onion
• 1/4 cup Lime juice

Pasta & Grains:

• 2/3 cup Orzo pasta, dried

Baking & Spices:

• 4 tsp Chili powder
• 2 tsp Garlic salt Oils & Vinegars
• 2 tbsp Olive oil Nuts & Seeds
• 1 tsp Cumin, ground

Directions:

• Step 1 Combine chili powder, garlic salt, cumin, and oregano. Add your beef, a few pieces at a time; mix to coat. Thread meat onto skewers, leaving a 1/4 inch between each piece.
• Step 2 Cook orzo according to package directions, adding corn the last minute of cooking. Drain in a colander. Rinse; drain again. In a large bowl combine orzo mixture, bell pepper, onion, and tomatoes.
• Step 3 Meanwhile, grill meat skewers, covered, over medium heat 8 to 12 minutes or until meat is slightly pink in center, turning skewers once or twice during grilling. *If you prefer, you can cook your sirloin tips in a cast iron skillet on the stove!
• Step 4 For dressing: In a screw-top jar combine lime zest and juice, 2 Tbsp. olive oil, the cilantro, and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cover and shake well. Pour dressing over orzo mixture; toss to coat. To serve, arrange Corn and Orzo Salad on a large platter. Top with your beef tips. 

This recipe has lots of flexibility! The important part is the ingredients that give it such a great flavor. As far as how you cook your beef, and your corn, you have options! I prefer to grill the corn on the cob, and then shave it off and pour it over the cooked rice. If you’re tight on grill space, you can use the grill for the corn, and cook your beef on the stove in a cast iron pan! Whatever you choose to do, this recipe is delicious, refreshing, and full of flavor and color!
