Ingredients

Marinade

  • 3 cups Mexican lager (such as Negra? Modelo)
  • ¾ cup coarsely chopped white onion
  • ¾ cup chopped cilantro
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • ¼ cup minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon hot salsa
  • 1 ½ teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 4 pounds beef tenderloin, cut into 1-inch cubes, or more as needed
  • 1 fresh pineapple, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups coarsely chopped red onion
  • 2 green bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 12 white mushrooms
  • 12 cherry tomatoes
  • (12-inch) skewers, soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Directions

Step 1
Combine lager, white onion, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salsa, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix together until marinade is well blended. Add beef carefully. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 6 hours to overnight.

Step 2
Thread the marinated beef, pineapple chunks, red onion chunks, green bell pepper pieces, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes alternately through skewers. Place shish kebabs on a baking sheet or jelly roll pan.

Step 3
Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill shish kebabs until beef is firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 4 minutes per side.

Cook’s Notes:

Do not wash the mushrooms. Instead, use a damp paper towel and gently scrub them.
