• Add feta and cream cheese to food processor and pulse until cheeses are mixed. Continue to mix 3-4 minutes until cheeses are very smooth. Add remaining Whipped Feta Tzatziki ingredients, including cucumber, and pulse until smooth. Refrigerate. Stir in milk a little at a time if needed when ready to serve in order to thin to desired consistency.
• NOTE: Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes in water before grilling or broiling.
• When ready to cook, thread beef, and veggies onto skewers.
• Grease and preheat grill to medium high heat. Grill skewers until lightly charred all over, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. You can check a beef cube for doneness if desired. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve with chilled Whipped Feta Tzatziki. Kabobs are also delicious with couscous/rice/quinoa and/or pita bread.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy clean up. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• Evenly space kabobs on baking sheet and bake 12-16 minutes, turning once OR until beef reaches desired doneness (cooking time will vary depending on steak size, so you can check a beef cube for doneness if desired). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
