Cooks' note:

·Instead of the grill, you can cook the vegetables and beef in a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan over moderately high heat.

Recipe information

  • Total Time

    1 1/2 hr

Ingredients

1 3/4 pounds beef tenderloin roast, trimmed
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
6 (1/4-inch-thick) rounds of red onion (cut from 1 large)
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 medium zucchini (1 pound), sliced 1/4 inch thick lengthwise
Special equipment: 6 (8-inch) bamboo skewers

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Soak skewers in water while marinating beef.

    Step 2

    Cut beef into 24 (1-inch) cubes. Stir together soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and cumin in a bowl and add beef, tossing to coat well. Marinate beef, covered, at room temperature 1 hour.

    Step 3

    Prepare grill for cooking.

    Step 4

    After beef has been marinating 45 minutes, lightly brush onion rounds with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill onion on a well-oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, carefully turning once with a metal spatula, until lightly charred and tender, 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a platter and keep warm.

    Step 5

    Arrange zucchini on grill and grill until lightly charred and just tender, about 1 minute on each side. Transfer to platter and season with salt.

    Step 6

    Pat beef dry with paper towels and toss with remaining oil. (Discard marinade.) Thread 4 pieces beef onto each skewer and grill, turning occasionally, until charred, about 5 minutes total for medium-rare.

  2. Step 7

    Serve kebabs with onion and zucchini.
