Ingredients

  • 700g rump steak, cut into 3cm chunks
  • 20ml olive oil
  • 50ml red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp freshly ground pepper
  • 1 yellow pepper, cut into 2cm squares
  • 1 red pepper, cut into 2cm squares
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 2cm squares
  • 4 baby courgettes, cut into thick slices
  • Parmesan, to serve
  • For the dipping sauce
  • 25g almonds, lightly toasted
  • 50g bag rocket
  • 50g watercress
  • 15ml olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • 25g Parmesan, grated
  • ½ lemon, juiced

Method

  1. Place the meat into a zip-lock bag along with the oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Close the bag tightly, removing any air pockets, and massage the meat with the mixture. Leave in the bag to marinate for 2-6 hours in the fridge.
  2. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water first to prevent them from burning during cooking. When ready to cook, remove the meat from the bag and place on skewers with the vegetables.
  3. Heat a griddle pan or barbecue and griddle the skewers for about 7 minutes on each side, until cooked through and the vegetables have begun to char slightly. Once they are cooked, cover them with foil to keep them warm until needed.
  4. To make the sauce, place all the ingredients into a food processor and blend until you have a fine paste.
  5. Serve the skewers with a pot of the dipping sauce or spoon a little sauce over them. Shave a few extra shards of Parmesan over the skewers just before serving.

"Despite its funny name, this wine is no joke - it's a seriously slurpable spicy red. This Rhone wine is the cat's whiskers: it's a reasonably-priced, reliably cheerful red that offers delicious red plum and berry flavours in every mouthful."
