Grilled Beef

The New York Times Magazine
May 25, 1969
Yield: 4 - 6 servings

2 lbs. lean beef
1 large onion, cut into eighths
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 cup dry red wine
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ tsp. grated nutmeg
1 bay leaf
Salt and pepper
12 - 18 cherry tomatoes
12 2-inch green pepper squares

Cut the beef into 1½-inch cubes and place in a mixing bowl. Add the onion. Combine the remaining ingredients, except tomatoes and green peppers, in another bowl and beat with a wire whisk to blend. Pour the mixture over the beef and onions and cover. Refrigerate 4 hours, stirring occasionally. Arrange the meat cubes, onions, cherry tomatoes and green peppers alternately on 4 - 6 skewers and grill over hot charcoal to the desired degree of doneness. Serve, if desired, with lemon wedges and melted butter.

NOTE: This, Pork en Brochette and Grilled Lamb Steaks aux Herbes were popular in the summer on Canandaigua Lake where we did a lot of the cooking outside on the grill.
