Ingredients

For the Steak Kebabs

2 pounds flank or skirt steak cut against the grain into long thin strips
2 bell peppers any color, seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red onion cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup black bean sauce
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil or vegetable for coating the grill or grill pan

For the Peanut Dip

5 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons hot sauce of choice or more/less to taste
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1-2 tablespoons water as needed
Fresh cilantro leaves for serving

Instructions

Skewer alternating pieces of steak, bell pepper, and red onion on metal or wooden skewers (soak wooden skewers in water before using so they don’t burn). Drizzle the meat and vegetables with the black bean sauce and season with salt and black pepper.
Coat an outdoor grill, grill pan, or griddle with the olive oil (or vegetable oil) and preheat to medium-high.
Add the skewers and cook for 4 to 6 minutes for rare to medium-rare (140 degrees on an instant-read thermometer for rare), or longer for more fully cooked meat, turning the skewers occasionally during cooking.
Transfer the kebabs to a plate, cover with aluminum foil, and let rest for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, to make the peanut sauce, combine all the ingredients but the cilantro, adding water as necessary to reach your desired consistency. If desired, microwave the sauce for 1 minute to warm.
Serve the kebabs with fresh cilantro and peanut sauce.
