Fiery Rub: To prepare fiery rub, combine 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, turmeric, and parsley.

Prepare grill

Remove beef from bowl, discarding marinade. Thread beef onto each of 6 (10") skewers. Press fiery rub onto beef. Place kebabs on grill rack coated with cooking spray; grill 6 minutes or until desired degree of doneness, turning once. Serve with Roasted Yellow Pepper Sauce.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 3 ounces meat and about 2 1/2 tablespoons sauce)

Roasted Yellow Pepper Sauce: Prepare broiler.

Cut bell pepper in half lengthwise, discarding seeds and membranes. Place pepper halves, skin sides up, on a foil-lined baking sheet, flatten with hand. Broil 15 minutes or until blackened. Place in a zip-top plastic bag; seal. Let stand 15 minutes. Peel and coarsely chop. Place bell pepper and remaining ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth.

Yield 1 cup. (serving size: 2 tablespoons)

NOTES : "These spicy kebabs are enjoyed day and night in Peruvian restaruants and at the pushcarts of street vendors. If you live in an area with a large Peruvian community, you may be able to buy whole or ground aji amarillo. If not, use hot paprika in its place, as we did in testing the recipe. We also tried Spanish smoked paprika, which you can find at www.tienda.com"
