BEEF BROCHETTE WITH TALEGGIO AND SPICY CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the chocolate sauce: Heat the oil in a medium saucepot over medium heat. Sweat the shallots and garlic until aromatic. Add the chipotles and cook until the adobo sauce has darkened. Add the port and cook down until reduced by 2/3. Add the red wine and balsamic vinegar, and reduce by half. Add the beef stock, chile powder, coriander, and nutmeg. Simmer and reduce down by 1/3. Stir in the grated chocolate. If the sauce is thin, mix the cornstarch with some water and whisk in a bit at a time until the sauce is thickened. You may not need all of the cornstarch slurry. Taste the sauce and season with salt, and pepper. Set the mixture aside and keep warm.
• Season the beef cubes with the steak seasoning. Thread the skewers in this order: onion-beef-apricot-onion. Roast the skewers in the oven for 8 minutes. Top each skewer with a piece of Taleggio cheese and roast in the oven for another 2 minutes.
• Serve the skewers with the chocolate sauce.

BEEF AND BELL PEPPERS EN BROCHETTE

Steps:

• Rinse the meat to remove any unwanted smells and pat dry with paper toweling. Season the meat with Smokey Rotisserie Seasoning and rub in well. Cover with plastic and let sit for 25 minutes. Cut the meat into 1-inch cubes, then place the meat in a bowl and pour in 1/2 cup of the red wine (reserving the other 1/2 cup), and let marinate for a minimum of 2 hours or overnight, if possible refrigerated.
• Whisk together the remaining red wine, the Worcestershire sauce, and the olive oil to make a sauce.
• Place red bell peppers, yellow bell peppers and onions on skewer in this order: red pepper, beef, onion, beef, green pepper, beef, etc. (With 3 pounds meat you will probably have around 48 cubes of beef, so you can put 3 or 4 beef cubes per skewer.) Grill on all sides, brushing with sauce as it cooks. Let vegetables caramelize and lightly blacken beef, being careful not to burn.
