Tender juicy steak, marinated in herbs and spices and then grilled to a crusty perfection. These Brazilian Beef Kebabs are a great mid-week meal. The beef is packed with flavour and with a couple of super simple sides you have a great meal with really very little effort!

1kgbeef rump steak

Instructions
Place the onion (see notes) in the food processor along with the orange juice and the juice of the lime, blitz to a thick paste.
Add in the olive oil, garlic, brown sugar, cumin, salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, parsley and fennel, then blitz again until well combined.
Trim the steak of any thick fat and then cut into large chunks.
Place the steak and the marinade into a non-reactive bowl (or large zip lock bag) and marinate for 30 minutes.
Remove the beef from the marinade and thread onto skewers.
Get your grill (or BBQ) as hot as it will go, then add the skewers and cook for 4-5 minutes turning once until lightly charred.
Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
I like to cut a about a ¼ of the onion off and save this for my Brazilian Tomato Salad. That way I don't have to start a second onion. The marinade is just as good with a little less onion :-)
