Honduran-style Garibi Gui

Ingredients

In this adaptation, we have replaced the traditional Korean spices and ingredients with Honduran flavors. The marinade now includes local spices and ingredients commonly found in Honduran cuisine, such as achiote paste, annatto seeds, and Honduran hot sauce. Additionally, the dish is served with a Honduran-style salsa, which adds a fresh and tangy element to the grilled beef skewers.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Achiote paste — Achiote paste can be found in Latin American grocery stores or online. If unavailable, you can make a substitute by combining equal parts paprika, oregano, cumin, and garlic powder.
• Annatto seeds — If you can't find annatto seeds, you can use annatto powder as a substitute. Use half the amount of powder compared to the seeds.

Tips & Tricks

• For extra tenderness, you can marinate the beef overnight.
• Soaking the wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning on the grill.
• Serve the skewers with a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an added burst of flavor.
• If you prefer spicier skewers, increase the amount of Honduran hot sauce in the marinade.
• Feel free to customize the marinade by adding your favorite Honduran spices or herbs.
