Alambres
Alambres
Alambres are Mexican style beef kabobs. What sets these aside from a regular beef kabob is that there is a piece of bacon or pork belly touching each piece of beef. They can be either broiled or grilled; about 5-6 minutes a side depending on how well done you like your beef. Alambres are always served with tortillas, limes, a hot sauce, and guacamole.
Servings: 4

Ingredients
- 2 lbs top sirloin Cut into 1.5” cubes
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions
- Rub the beef with vegetable oil. Season with 2 tsp of salt and 2 tsp of black pepper.
- Season the pork belly with 1 tsp of salt and 1 tsp of black pepper. If using bacon, skip this step.
