Beef And Onion Skewers Recipe

Skewers are a classic grill favorite: they’re easy to cook and easy to eat, and somehow it’s just fun to pull your food off a stick in bite-sized pieces. Call it the inner cave(wo)man breaking through our 21^st-century mores. Kids love them, too, and they’re easy to downsize for smaller appetites if you need to.

You can make a skewer with just about anything, but here’s a recipe for just the classics: steak and onions with a garlic-ginger marinade to ramp up the flavor.

There’s also just a dash of coconut aminos, which are a Paleo-friendly replacement for soy sauce. You can find them at most health-food stores or high-end grocery stores, or online. A little bit of honey is optional if you like it sweeter.

The ingredients call for sirloin steak, but this is really a very flexible recipe: you can substitute it with any of your favorite cuts.

Serve your skewers over a big pile of fresh salad greens (the juices from the meat make a delicious “dressing”) or maybe with some “pasta” if you’re feeling fancier. You can dress them up if you're trying to impress someone or down if you just need something tasty for dinner in a hurry.
