Beef Skewers With Garlicky White Bean Dip

Ingredients
1 pound boneless beef top sirloin steak, cut 1 inch thick
1 teaspoon garlic-pepper seasoning
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Garlicky White Bean Dip


1 can (15-1/2 ounces) great Northern or cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon sherry or balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika


Preparation
To prepare Garlicky White Bean Dip, place beans, water, vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic and salt in food processor or blender container. Cover; process until smooth. Spoon 1/2 of bean dip into clear serving bowl; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon paprika and drizzle with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Top with remaining bean dip, 1/4 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Cover; set aside.
Soak sixteen 6-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain. Meanwhile cut beef steak crosswise into 1/4-inch thick strips. Thread beef, weaving back and forth, onto each skewer. Combine garlic-pepper seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon paprika; sprinkle evenly over beef.
Place skewers on rack in broiler pan so surface of beef is 2 to 3 inches from heat. Broil about 4 to 5 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, turning once. Serve with Garlicky White Bean Dip.
