  1. Combine marinade ingredients in a food processor or blender and process until smooth. Place marinade, beef, and bell pepper in a large freezer bag. Marinate in refrigerator (30 minutes - 24 hours).
  2. When ready to assemble kebabs, soak 6 (12") skewers in cold water (10 minutes).
  3. Remove beef and bell pepper pieces from bag and discard marinade. Thread pieces of beef, pepper, and plantain alternately onto skewers. Lightly coat kebabs with cooking spray.
  4. Heat grill to medium-high. Place kebabs on grill rack. Cook to desired doneness (4 minutes per side for medium-rare). Garnish with green onions and lime wedges.
