Wash and dry all produce. Preheat the #broiler{} to high. Soak the @wooden skewers{4%pieces} in water. Take @butter{1.5%tbsp} out of the fridge to come to room temperature. Core, seed, and dice the @red bell pepper{1%unit} into ¾-inch cubes. Halve, peel, and dice the @shallot{1%unit} into ¾-inch pieces. Finely chop the @oregano{1%tsp} leaves.

Toss the @beef tenderloin tips{12%oz} in a #large bowl{} with the red bell pepper, shallot, oregano, half the @chipotle powder{0.5%tsp}, and a drizzle of @olive oil{1%tbsp}. Season generously with @salt{1%tsp} and @pepper{0.5%tsp}. Thread the beef, peppers, and shallot onto the skewers, alternating between each.

Place the @corn on the cob{2%ears} onto a #baking sheet{} and rub with a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Place under the broiler ~{5%minutes}, until slightly charred.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and flip the corn. Place the skewers alongside the corn and place under the broiler ~{5-8%minutes}, turning once, until lightly charred and cooked to desired doneness.

Meanwhile, zest and cut the @lime{1%unit} into wedges. In a #small bowl{}, combine the butter, a squeeze of lime, a pinch of lime zest, and as much remaining chipotle powder as you like. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve the corn rubbed with the chipotle-lime butter. Brush any remaining butter over the skewers, if desired. Finish with a squeeze of lime and enjoy.
