SKEWERS & SEEDS
Prepare the oven or Weber according to the Chef’s Tip instructions. Place the skewers in a shallow dish, cover with water, and soak for 10 minutes. Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat and toast for 3-5 minutes until beginning to pop. Remove from the pan and set aside.
A POP OF PESTO
In a bowl, combine the diced tomato, the pesto, a drizzle of oil, and seasoning. Just before serving, add the toasted pumpkin seeds.
ONE, TWO, THREAD
Separate the onion wedges into petals. Pat the beef stroganoff dry with paper towel. In a bowl, combine the rub, the chipotle flakes (to taste), the beef, the onion petals, and seasoning. Thread 1 beef strip and 1 onion petal on to a skewer, making sure they are secure. Repeat in the same order, filling up each skewer, until all the skewers are full. Coat the skewers in any remaining chipotle marinade.
WEBER BRAAI OPTION
Place any remaining onion petals & stroganoff, the trimmed green beans, and the drained pickled pepper into a tinfoil parcel, keeping the top open for the moisture to escape. Once the coals are ready on the Weber and the grid is cleaned down, place the beef skewers over the hottest area of the coals. Place the veg parcel alongside over a cooler area of the coals. Braai the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side until browned and cooked through. Toss the veg occasionally to allow for even cooking. Remove the skewers and veg parcel from the heat and set aside to rest for a minute. Remove the veg from the tinfoil before serving.
OVEN ROASTING OPTION
Place the beef skewers on half of a roasting tray. Place any remaining onion petals & stroganoff, the trimmed green beans, and the drained pickled peppers on the other half of the tray. Coat in oil and seasoning. Roast in the hot oven for 8-10 minutes until cooked through, shifting halfway.

Plate up the beef skewers and side with the veg. Serve with the pesto tomato salad. Enjoy, Braai Master!
