Grilled Beef Brochettes

For this recipe use Pampas Plains diced beef or fillet.

Ingredients

1 medium sized fillet or pack of Pampas Plains diced beef
4 small onions
3 thick slices of bacon
3 tomatoes
1 red pepper
2 small zucchini (courgette)
8 mushrooms
8 cherry tomatoes
• Salt and pepper to taste
Chimichurri sauce to taste
8 brochette sticks, either made of bamboo or wood (in the case they are made of wood, just put them in a bowl with water for one hour before using them to aviod burning during cooking)
Olive oil

Method

Dice the fillet (if not using Pampas Plains diced beef) - allowing four cubes of meat per stick. Cut the onions into quarters. Cut the courgette, mushrooms and tomatoes into cubes. Cut the bacon slices into squares.

Prepare the brochettes starting with the beef cube, alternating with the onion, tomatoes, mushrooms, courgettes, bacon, and red pepper. Grill the brochettes either naturally brushed with olive oil, or paint lightly with the Pampas Plains chimichurri sauce.

Serve this preparation with a light leaf salad.
