Preparation
- 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.
