Ingredients
Method
For the sauce, combine bread and almonds in a food processor and process until finely ground.
Add garlic, tomato, peppers, vinegar, salt and smoked paprika; process until puréed, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl once or twice.
With the machine running, gradually add oil. Transfer to a bowl.
For the beef, soak 12 small (6-inch) bamboo skewers in cold water for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
In a large bowl, whisk together oil, garlic, sweet paprika, cumin, salt and cayenne.
Add beef cubes, toss to coat, and set aside for at least 10 minutes, or refrigerate up to 1 day.
Heat a grill pan over high heat or prepare an outdoor grill for medium-heat cooking.
Thread 3 to 4 beef cubes on each skewer, being sure that the tip is covered by beef.
Grill, turning occasionally, until beef is browned and cooked to your liking, 4 to 5 minutes on an outdoor grill and 6 to 7 minutes on a grill pan.
Serve the skewers hot with room temperature sauce.
