Preparation

Step 1

Heat a gas grill to medium high or prepare a medium-hot grill fire.

In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup, whisk the 1/2 cup oil with the ginger, Tabasco, vinegar, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

Thread the cubes of meat onto skewers, inserting a red pepper square between the cubes. (You may not need all the skewers.) Brush the kebabs with oil and sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Grill the kebabs, with the lid closed, turning every 2 minutes, 4 to 6 minutes total for medium rare. (Or to desire doneness.) Warm the pitas on the grill.

To serve, slide each kebab off its skewer into a pita. Top each with some of the lettuce. Whisk the dressing to recombine and drizzle over the meat and vegetables.
