How to make Colombian Beef Skewers

Why cooks start here

Colombian Beef Skewers is cooked the way Colombian home tables cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a colombian family cook actually puts it on the table.

Colombian Beef Skewers, or 'pinchos de res', are a beloved staple of Colombian home cooking, often enjoyed during weekend gatherings or casual meals shared with family and friends. This dish captures the essence of Colombian culinary tradition, with its roots in home kitchens where the balance of flavors is perfected through intuitive cooking rather than precise measurements. These skewers are all about simplicity and bold flavors. Juicy cubes of beef are marinated with cumin and black pepper, then grilled to perfection, delivering a satisfying bite with every mouthful. The onions add a sweet contrast, while generous hand-sprinkled salt enhances the savory richness. Serve them hot off the grill for an authentic taste of Colombian home cooking.
