Notes & Wine Advice
Recipe Notes
Marinate the steak for at least 30 minutes, but overnight will create even deeper flavor. Cut the steak and vegetables into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly. Avoid overcooking the steak to keep every bite juicy and tender. Warm tortillas, fresh salsa, and guacamole make excellent accompaniments.Wine Advice
A crisp Sauvignon Blanc complements the citrus marinade and grilled vegetables. For a classic pairing, serve with a cold Mexican lager alongside the kabobs.Nutrition values
