Ingredients:
- 1 lb. boneless beef top sirloin steak or beef tenderloin steaks, cut 1 inch thick
Marinade:
- 1/4 cup molasses
- 3 Tbsp. orange juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp. ground cumin
Spiced Bulgur:
- 1/2 cup uncooked quick-cooking bulgur
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/3 cup golden raisins
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Cut beef steak into 1-1/4 inch pieces. Whisk marinade ingredients in large bowl until smooth. Add beef; toss to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Meanwhile prepare Spiced Bulgur. Combine bulgur, water, raisins, orange juice, pumpkin pie spice, cumin, garlic and salt in small saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until bulgur is tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with fork; stir in parsley. Keep warm.
Soak eight 6-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain. Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. Thread beef pieces onto skewers, leaving small space between pieces.
Place kabobs on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 6 to 8 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, covered, 7 to 9 minutes) for medium rare (145 degrees) to medium (160 degrees) doneness, turning occasionally.
Serve kabobs with Spiced Bulgur.
