Ginger Spice Beef Kabobs Recipes

GROUND BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine - In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Pro tip - We combine all the ingredients before processing to prevent overprocessing.
• Process - Transfer the mixture to the food processor and pulse no more than 8 to 10 times. Pro tip - processing in the food processor makes the mixture slightly stick by distributing the fat. This helps the meat and marinade hold together.
• Marinate - Transfer the meat back to the bow and leave to marinate for 15 minutes on the counter or up to overnight in the fridge. Pro tip - Alternatively, you can thread the meat on the skewers and leave in the fridge until ready to grill.
• Thread/shape kababs - shaping these can be tricky so pay attention.- Take about 1/3 cup amount of beef mixture and make a ball then shape it into a long sausage. - Thread the skewer through the sausage. - Now using your fingers press them around the meat as if you are making a fist pressing the meat to the skewer. - Be gentle not to break the sausage but firm enough so it adheres to the skewersPro tip - dipping your hands in water will make the meat less sticky. Gloves do not help much.
• Hot grill - Heat a grill or cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat. Brush the grill with cooking oil. Pro tip - The grill must be very hot but not smoking hot otherwise the meat will stick to the grill.
• Grill - Place the skewers on the grill and let cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side. Brush them with oil to keep them moist. The char marks can be controlled by raising and lowing the heat under the grill.Pro tip - do not try to move the kebabs for the first 3 minutes as they will be stuck to the grill. otherwise, you will break them. After 3 minutes they should release on their own.
• Serve immediately with rice or pita topped with tahini sauce or yogurt sauce and a side salad.

Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side. Baste with reserved marinade. Continue turning and basting for 8-10 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Serve meat and vegetables over rice if desired.

• Add steak and let marinate for at least one hour, and up to 8 hours (see notes above regarding marinade times)
• If using wooden skewers, soak for 10 minutes before skewering your beef and vegetables.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• Skewer your beef cubes and vegetables, alternating as you like. I try to ensure 3-5 cubes of beef per skewer, depending on how long your skewers are.

CHINESE FIVE SPICE BEEF KABOBS

Steps:

• Thinly slice steak across grain. If necessary, flatten slices with a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness.
• In small bowl combine soy sauce, and five-spice powder. Place the mixture and flank steak into a gallon size zip top bag. Make sure the mixture has evenly coasted over both sides of the steak and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.
• After the allotted time has passed, remove steak from the zip top bag and discard remaining mixture. Thread the steak slices onto skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading).
• Place skewered steak on grill, cover and grill for 2 - 3 minutes on each side. Half way through grilling on each side, turn the steak 90° so that you get more grill marks. Flank steak is best eaten medium rare; well done will make it too tough. For medium rare cook until internal temp is 145 degrees F and for medium 160 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl combine yogurt, snipped mint, grated lime peel and lime juice.
• Serve kabobs with yogurt sauce and lime wedges. Top with additional fresh mint.
