Margarita Beef Skewers

Read Reviews (19)

"These skewers are quick and easy to make and taste terrific. With tender top sirloin, you don't need to marinate a long time to tenderize the meat, just long enough to impart the flavors of the citrus and garlic marinade. Serve over rice." — chellebelle

Directions

Combine margarita mix, salt, sugar, garlic, and vegetable oil in a bowl or resealable plastic bag. Toss sirloin cubes in marinade and marinate at least 30 minutes.
Preheat a grill for medium heat.
Assemble skewers, alternating meat with mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper. Brush skewers with marinade, then discard the remaining marinade. Grill skewers to desired doneness, about 10 minutes total for medium.

I doubled the amount of garlic right away. While these were marinating, I made myself a margarita. My son and husband loved the skewers, daughter didn't care for them, and I loved my margarita a lot more, I'm afraid. I found the meat to be too sweet, and needed an extra shake of garlic salt once they were done. I would've given it 3 stars, but like I said, my boys loved it.

Big mistake.....recipe says vegetable oil, directions says olive oil. Which is it?! I'm going with olive oil....I guess!

Fantastic recipe - the steak really picked up the flavor of the marinade. I soaked the bamboo skewers for 30 minutes in the marinade as well prior to threading them.

I followed the recipe except for the peppers. The marinade gave the meat a nice limey flavor. This was a welcome change from more traditional grilling marinades. I will definately make these again.

Easy & tasty! I also skipped the peppers in this recipe only because I'm the only one that likes them and I marinated them overnight.

My family really liked this meat. It was very easy to make, and I liked that it didn't have to marinate for hours or days. Thanks!

Yummy, but I'd add a decent amount of lime juice to make sure it has that lime flavor.
