BEEF SHISH KABOB

Steps:

• Mix all the marinade ingredients together in a zip lock bag, take 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the marinade and set aside.
• Add the cubed meat to the bag and coat well. Squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag then marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
• Add the veggies to the other bag with 1/2 to 3/4 of the marinade and set aside for an hour.
• Thread meat pieces into metal or bamboo skewers, grill until cooked. For oven baked see notes section below.
• Thread veggies on separate skewers and grill.

PERSIAN SHISH KABOB

Steps:

• Cut beef into cubes 1x1/2 inch. Add to a medium mixing bowl along with the onion, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Mix well, cover, and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat grill for high heat.
• Thread beef on skewers, 6 to 8 pieces per skewer.
• Lightly oil grate, and place kebobs on grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, 12 to 16 minutes in all.

THE BEST SHISH KEBABS

Steps:

• Soak the skewers in water for at least 15 minutes and up to overnight. Pat them dry and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk the vinegar, scallions, Dijon, garlic, sugar, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified.
• Put the beef pieces, bell peppers, onions and zucchini in a large resealable plastic bag. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade and pour the rest into the bag and seal. Toss the bag so the meat and vegetables are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours and up to overnight.
• Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
• Thread the meat and vegetables onto a skewer in the following order: beef, zucchini, red pepper, yellow pepper and onion. Repeat the threading three more times, ending with a piece of beef (there should be 5 pieces of beef and 4 pieces of each vegetable on the skewer). Repeat with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
• Sprinkle the kebabs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill at an angle, uncovered, until deep char marks form and the vegetables start to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the skewers and continue cooking until the beef has reached an internal temperature of 125 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
• Remove from the grill and brush the kebabs with the reserved 1/4 cup marinade. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

MOM'S BEEF SHISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Whisk the vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the beef, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
• Add the mushrooms to the bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and reseal the bag; marinate in the refrigerator another 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the beef and mushrooms from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside for basting.
• Thread pieces of green bell pepper, beef, red bell pepper, mushroom, and onion onto metal skewers, repeating until all ingredients are skewered.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently and brushing generously with the reserved marinade until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.

LA CHOY MARINADE / SHISHKEBAB

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients, and pour over 1 inch cubes of sirloin steak - as much as you can afford/need to feed the number of guests. Cover and let marinate for at least 2 hours in fridge (better overnight).
• Halve onion, seperating out each layer into an individual piece. Cut zucchini into circular pieces about 1/2 inch thick, cut Bell pepper, removing seeds and inner stem, into 2 inch diameter pieces. If mushrooms are very large (bigger than 2 inches diameter), they may be halved; otherwise keep them whole. Skewer meat, alternating with veggies (I have found it is best to keep the bell pepper from touching any meat, though - best to "block" it with an onion piece). If you have a choice of skewers, get the flat-bladed kind instead of the round kind (with the round kind, cherry tomatoes always spin cooked-side-down on the grill).
• BBQ until done. YUM. Friends who have tried it with chicken say it is good with it too. I always use RED wine vinegar (because I always use sirloin), but if you are doing chicken, I suppose white would be ok too.
