Jerk Steak Kabobs With Pineapple Salsa
The hot Caribbean coating on the meat is the perfect foil for our cool tropical salsa. If you like, flame-cook pineapple wedges next to kabobs.

Ingredients:

• Pineapple Salsa:
• 2 limes
• ripe pineapple, rind removed, cored, and coarsely chopped
• 1 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 1 jalapeño chile, seeded and minced
• 1 green onion, sliced
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
• Jerk Steak Kabobs:
• 2 green onions, minced
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon grated, peeled fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
• 1 boneless beef top sirloin steak, 1 1/4 inches thick (1 1/2 pounds), cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes
• 4 long metal skewers

Directions:

1. Prepare Pineapple Salsa: From limes, grate 1/2 teaspoon peel and squeeze 2 tablespoons juice. In medium bowl, mix lime peel and juice with remaining salsa ingredients. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes about 4 cups.

2. Meanwhile, in large bowl, mix all kabob ingredients except steak and skewers. Add steak cubes and toss to coat well; let stand 15 minutes to marinate.

3. Thread steak cubes on skewers. Place skewers on grill over medium heat; cook 8 to 10 minutes for medium-rare, turning occasionally. Serve kabobs with salsa.
