Beef Skewers with Horseradish Dipping Sauce

You don’t always need a grill to cook skewers (or kebabs); here, they are conveniently broiled instead. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for fifteen minutes to keep them from scorching.

Recipe information

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary leaves
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 pounds flatiron (shoulder top blade) steaks (about 3), any gristle removed
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish sauce

    Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat source. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

    Step 2

    On a cutting board, chop garlic and rosemary, and sprinkle with a little salt. Pressing firmly, rock blade of knife back and forth across mixture to make a paste. Transfer to a bowl, and stir in oil; season with salt and pepper.
