How to make Steak, Tomato, and Okra Kebabs

Whisk together shallot, vinegar, mustard, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoons pepper. Add 120ml oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.

Toss steak with 1/2 teaspoons salt, then marinate in a sealed bag with 90ml vinaigrette, chilled, turning bag occasionally, at least 2 hours. Chill remaining vinaigrette.

Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium-high heat for gas).

Meanwhile, toss tomatoes and okra with remaining 3 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoons salt. Thread tomatoes onto 3 or 4 skewers. Thread okra crosswise onto pairs of parallel skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces. Put on a tray.

Thread steak onto remaining skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces (discard marinade). Put on another tray.

Oil grill rack, then grill steak skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning once, about 5 minutes total for medium-rare (about 8 minutes if using steak tips). Transfer to a platter. Drizzle with some of remaining vinaigrette while hot and let stand 5 minutes.

Grill tomato and okra skewers, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until tomatoes just begin to wilt and okra is tender, 8 to 10 minutes total. Transfer to platter with steak and serve with any remaining reserved vinaigrette.
