Grilled Steak & Shrimp

                                                              recipe from Epicurious
ingredients
6 large garlic cloves
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 sirloin steaks
1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
10 wooden skewers, soaked in water 1 hour

Mince garlic and mash to a paste with salt using a large heavy knife. Transfer to a small bowl and whisk in lemon juice and pepper, then add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified. Divide marinade among 2 bowls. 
 


  • 1 lb sirloin steak (1 inch thick), trimmed of excess fat




  • 2 medium skinless boneless chicken breast halves (1 lb total)




  • 1 1/4 lb medium shrimp in shell (31 to 35 per lb; about 40), peeled and deveined





  • 1 lb sirloin steak (1 inch thick), trimmed of excess fat




  • 2 medium skinless boneless chicken breast halves (1 lb total)




  • 1 1/4 lb medium shrimp in shell (31 to 35 per lb; about 40), peeled and deveined





  • 1 lb sirloin steak (1 inch thick), trimmed of excess fat




  • 2 medium skinless boneless chicken breast halves (1 lb total)




  • 1 1/4 lb medium shrimp in shell (31 to 35 per lb; about 40), peeled and deveined



  • Cut steak into 20 to 25 (1/4-inch-thick) slices (about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide), then toss with marinade in one of bowls and thread each slice lengthwise onto a skewer.  Toss shrimp with marinade in another bowl, then thread shrimp onto each skewers.

    Prepare grill for cooking over hot charcoal (high heat for gas).
    Grill skewers in batches on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once with tongs, until beef is medium-rare, about 3 minutes total; and shrimp is just cooked through, about 2 minutes.
