Ingredients

  • 1 pound beef heart or beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon aji panca paste (or red chili paste)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
  • Lime wedges (for serving)
  • Fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Marinate the Meat

In a large bowl, combine the vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, aji panca paste, minced garlic, ground cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.

Add the meat cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Prepare the Skewers

Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.

Thread the marinated meat cubes onto the soaked wooden skewers, packing them closely together.

Grill the Anticuchos

Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook, turning occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is cooked to your desired level of doneness.

For extra flavor, you can brush the meat with additional marinade while grilling.

Serve

Enjoy your meal!
