Preparation

Step 1
Preheat a charcoal grill to high or an oven broiler to 500 degrees. If wooden skewers are used, soak them in cold water until ready to use.
Step 2
Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes. There should be 24 cubes.
Step 3
Peel and cut the onions into 24 1-inch cubes. Reserve the remaining onion for another use. Set the cubes aside until ready to cook.
Step 4
Cut away and discard the pepper cores, veins and seeds. Cut the peppers into 24 equal-size pieces and set aside until ready to cook.
Step 5
Combine the meat and remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Blend well and marinate 15 minutes.
Step 6
Drain the meat and arrange equal portions of meat, onions and peppers on skewers. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Step 7
If the brochettes are to be cooked under the broiler, arrange them on a rack about 4 inches from the source of heat, leaving the door slightly ajar. Cook about 4 minutes for rare, basting with the reserved marinade and turning often. If the brochettes are to be cooked on a grill, place them on the grill and cook 4 minutes for rare, basting often with the reserved marinade while turning.
