Ingredients

16

wooden skewers

2/3

cup olive oil

1

tablespoon grated lemon peel

1/3

cup lemon juice

1

tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves

3/4

teaspoon salt

3

cloves garlic, finely chopped

2

lb beef flank steak

1

cup ketchup

2

cloves garlic, peeled

1

canned chipotle chili in adobo sauce

Preparation

In 11x8-inch baking dish, soak skewers in water at least 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, in 1-gallon resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix oil, lemon peel, lemon juice, thyme leaves, salt and garlic. Slice beef across the grain into 1/4-inch strips. Place beef in oil mixture. Seal bag; refrigerate 2 to 4 hours to marinate.

Meanwhile, in blender or food processor, place sauce ingredients. Cover; blend on high speed until smooth.

Thread beef on skewers, twirling 2 to 3 beef strips around each skewer to look like worms. Reserve any remaining marinade.

Set oven control to broil. Place skewers on broiler pan. Broil with tops 4 to 6 inches from heat 3 minutes. Turn skewers, and brush with marinade. (Discard any remaining marinade.) Broil 2 to 3 minutes longer or until desired doneness. Serve with sauce.
