Instructions:
Very few cities love a party more than San Antonio, Texas. A major
part of San Antonio's annual Fiesta is a celebration called "Night
in Old San Antonio", held in La Villita, the restored original little
village of San Antonio. It's impossible to eat a sample of all of
the foods sold, at least for the normal person, but one of the most
popular is anticuchos--chunks of beef that have been marinated in
a secret pepper marinade, skewered, and grilled over an open fire.
Since nobody has offered a recipe, I made one up. Since you are going
to hand a skewer full of meat to each guest, you really should hand
them a cold beer for the other hand to preserve proper balance. Combine
all ingredients in a non-reactive (not metal) dish and allow to marinate
for one to two hours. Divide meat evenly between four skewers, and
grill over very hot coals for 1-2 minutes per side (4-8 minutes total
cooking time", basting with the remaining marinade at each turning.
You may wish to cook the meat longer if you prefer it beyond medium
rare. You can also reduce the size of the servings and use this recipe
for hot hors d'oeuvres.
