Cajun-seasoned sirloin and prawns grilled with peppers and red onion.
Ingredients
Method
25 mins prep10 mins cook35 mins total
Toss the beef, prawns, peppers, red onion and garlic with the Cajun seasoning, oil and lemon juice. Leave for 15 minutes while the grill heats.
Thread the beef, prawns, peppers and red onion alternately onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece.
Heat a barbecue or grill until very hot. Grill the skewers for 3–4 minutes on each side, turning regularly, until the beef is browned and the prawns are opaque and cooked through.
Rest the skewers for 2 minutes, then serve with the charred vegetables and any juices from the tray.
Notes
Use separate boards and utensils for the raw beef and prawns, and cook until both are fully done. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water before grilling.
About this recipe
These skewers bring together tender sirloin and raw king prawns with the smoky warmth of Cajun seasoning. Alternating the beef and prawns with sweet peppers and red onion gives the grill a good balance of richness, char and freshness, while lemon juice lifts the finished dish.
The ingredients are seasoned before threading so the spice coats every surface, and the skewers cook quickly over a hot grill. Cut the steak and vegetables into even pieces, leave a little space between each item, and turn the skewers regularly so the beef browns without overcooking the prawns.
