¼ cup fresh orange juice

¼ cup fresh lime juice

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon each salt and pepper


16 ounces top sirloin steak cut into 1 inch pieces

1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces

1 pint cherry tomatoes

1 lime cut into half and quartered


In a large bowl, mix together marinade ingredients.   Place steak into a glass baking dish, add the marinade and cover.  Refrigerator for 45-60 minutes.


If you’re using wood skewers, soak them in water for 10-15 minutes.


Preheat the grill to medium high heat.

Remove the steak from the marinade and discard the remainder of the marinade.


Thread the skewers with a piece of red bell pepper, green bell pepper, steak piece and cherry tomato.  Repeat 2-3 times.  Place a quarter of the lime at the bottom of the skewer.


Grill on medium heat for 7-9 minutes.  Turn and grill for another 5-7 minutes with the grill top closed.  Remove skewers from the grill and squeeze grilled lime over the skewer. Serve.
