Chilean Anticuchos or SkewersChilean Anticuchos, or Skewers, have always been my favorite foods. My grandfather made them for Fiestas Patrias or family gatherings; I have to have them when I visit Chile. We made them here to celebrate the 18th (Chilean Independence day)with the Chilean ex-pats in Houston.
My husband, the grilling resident, prepared this recipe I just supervised 😉

Pin Recipe

Learn the Chilean touch for this common meat dish.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 30 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 pounds of pork loin
  • juice of 2 lemons, pepper salt, honey, oregano
  • 4 pounds of top sirloin beef, NY strip steak, or similar
  • paprika, salt, pepper, red wine vinegar, oregano
  • 2 onions
  • 3 bell peppers
  • 6 Longanizas (in the US buy Kielbasa or Spanish chorizo)
  • bread to serve
  • soaked bamboo or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. About 3 hours before grilling the Anticuchos. Clean the meat, and remove the nerves and fascias. Cut into pieces of 3-5 cm or 2″ per side approximately.
  2. Place the beef in a bowl and sprinkle with wine vinegar, just enough to wet the pieces, and season with salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika powder.
  3. Place the pork in a bowl, add lemon juice to wet the meat, and season with salt, pepper, and oregano. Use more salt than you think is necessary.
  4. Cover the meat and refrigerate it for 2 hours.
  5. If using bamboo skewers, soak them for 15 minutes so they do not catch fire.
  6. Cut the onion and bell pepper into large pieces.
  7. Cut the sausage into pieces.
  8. Assemble the Anticuchos in any combination you want. Preheat the grill to high heat. Baste with beer using a bundle of cilantro if desired during the cooking.

  9. Grill the Anticuchos for about 5 minutes per side. Also, heat the bread on the grill and bury it on the tip of the Anticucho right before serving.

    Anticuchos are Peruvian. This is a fact. Nothing Chilean about them. It’s like saying Chilean pizza or Chilean taco. Stop taking other countries food and claiming it as your own. You must have some decent of your own?

      Stop putting a wedge, between Peru and Chile over a delicious dish. I am a Chilean and had enjoyed Anticuchos over Chicha , and told jokes with my Peruvian brothers for hours, sharing until almost the next day.
