Beef And Mushroom Brochettes Marinated In White Wine Recipe 455

Steps:

• To make marinade: In a shallow baking dish, combine wine, garlic, basil, thyme, oregano, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well. Place the beef in the marinade and let sit for a minimum of 2 hours. To prepare brochettes: Preheat the grill to medium-high. Thread beef on skewers, alternating with mushrooms and onion. Once all 4 skewers are ready, grill on barbecue, turning 4 times, for 10 to 12 minutes or until beef is done and vegetables have grill marks.

Steps:

• Preheat a charcoal grill or an oven broiler until very hot. If wooden skewers are to be used, soak them in water until ready. Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes. There should be 24 cubes.
• Peel and cut the onions into 24 1-inch cubes.
• Cut away and discard the pepper cores and remove the seeds. Cut the peppers into 24 1-inch cubes. Cut away and discard the tomato cores.
• In a nonreactive bowl, combine the lime juice, coriander, garlic, hot pepper, cumin, wine, oil, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well, and marinate the meat, onions, peppers and tomatoes for 15 minutes.
• Drain the meat and vegetables, reserving the marinade for basting. Place equal portions of meat, onions, tomatoes and peppers on each skewer.
• If the brochettes are to be cooked under the broiler, arrange them on a rack 4 inches from the source of heat, leaving the door slightly ajar. Cook about 4 minutes for rare, basting and turning often. If the brochettes are grilled, cook 4 minutes for rare, basting and turning often.
• Meanwhile, in a saucepan, reduce the marinade by half. Serve brochettes sprinkled with chopped coriander and the hot marinade.

Steps:

• Clean the mushrooms well. You can scuff up the skin a little, so that the mushroom juices combine with the herbs.
• Mix the herbs together and crush them with a mortar and pestle, or just crush them together.
• Put 6 mushrooms on each of 4 bamboo skewers. Salt and pepper them, and sprinkle the herb mix over them.
• Put them under a hot grill (or on the BBQ) and turn them frequently. Sprinkle more herbs and salt and pepper once or twice.
• The mushrooms should be hot, and cooked but still crisp when they are done.
