• Turn your grill on and let it heat up.
• While you are waiting for the grill to heat up place chicken and steaks on kabobs.

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.

BEST BEEF KABOB MARINADE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix the marinade ingredients together. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade.
• Place the cubed meat into a large plastic zip-tight bag and pour all but the reserved marinade over it, then seal and squish to coat well. Place in the refrigerator for 1-6 hours to marinate. This is also a good time to place wooden skewers in water to soak.
• Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until just tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 6-8 minutes. Drain well, then toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary, and mustard. Set aside.
• Preheat grill to high heat while preparing the kabobs. Chop all vegetables into chunks that are roughly the same size as the cubed steak, keeping 3 layers of onion together in each chunk. Drizzle vegetables with the reserved marinade.
• Thread alternating pieces of meat, vegetables, and potatoes until the skewers are filled, aiming for 4-5 pieces of steak on each skewer.
• Place kabobs on the grill directly over the heat and reduce heat to medium-high. Grill for 8-10 minutes, flipping every 2-3 minutes, until the meat is cooked medium-rare to medium and the vegetables start to char just around the edges.
• Remove from the grill and rest for 5 minutes before serving.

STEAK KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut steak, peppers and onion into equal sized pieces (about 1-1.5")
• In a large freezer bag, combine the oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, honey, onion powder and chipotle powder if using.
• 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.
• Place kabobs directly over the heat, cooking for 4-5 minutes before flipping and cooking another 4-5 minutes. See notes above for cook times depending on your preference for doneness.

TERIYAKI SHISH KABOBS

Steps:

• For marinade, mix first five ingredients. Place beef and half of the marinade in a large resealable plastic bag; seal bag and turn to coat. Cover and reserve remaining marinade. Refrigerate beef and marinade overnight., On metal or soaked wooden skewers, thread vegetables and, on separate skewers, thread beef with pineapple. Discard remaining marinade in bag. Grill, covered, over medium heat until vegetables are tender and beef reaches desired doneness, 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally., In a small saucepan, bring reserved marinade to a boil, stirring occasionally; cook 1 minute. Remove vegetables, pineapple and beef from skewers before serving. Serve with sauce.

BEEF SHISH KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut onion in half. Grate half of the onion and combine in a measuring cup with oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
• Cut the other half of the onion into 1 ½-inch squares. Set aside.
• Place the beef cubes in a large zip-top plastic bag. Pour ½ of the marinade into the bag, seal, and refrigerate. Marinate beef for at least one hour, or up to overnight.
• Set aside the remaining marinade to use for basting later.
• When ready to prepare the kabobs, remove beef cubes from the marinade. Discard marinade in the bag.
• Thread beef and vegetables onto separate skewers (if using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water first).
• Brush vegetable skewers with reserved marinade.
• Broil kabobs 3 inches from heat for 8 minutes. Turn and broil an additional 8 - 10 minutes, or until done. Keep an eye on the vegetables - the tomatoes tend to cook a bit faster, while the peppers and onions may need an extra minute of cooking time. Just remove each skewer from the broiler (or grill) when cooked to desired tenderness.
• Alternatively, you can grill the shish kabobs for about 20 minutes, turning regularly.

GRILLED PORK SHISH KABOBS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl (or ziploc bag), combine chopped pork, 1 Tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 1/2 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper and stir until well combined. Separate onion pieces and add them to the bowl. Add 2 Tbsp olive oil and toss to combine. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours and preferably overnight.
• Thread the kabobs onto metal skewers*, alternating between meat and onion. For even browning, the meat and onions should be just touching on the skewers and not crowded together. Let your skewers stay at room temperature for 30 minutes before placing on the grill.
• Preheat your grill to Medium/high heat (400˚F). Add skewers in a single layer and grill for 8-10 minutes total. Meat skewers turn like a triangle so we cook about 3 minutes per side on all 3 sides. Grill until cooked through and meat reaches at least 145˚F internal temperature. Rest skewers 3 minutes before serving.

STEAK KEBABS

Steps:

• For the marinade: In a mixing bowl whisk together all marinade ingredients.
• For the kebabs: place steak into a gallon size resealable bag. Pour marinade over steak then seal bag while pressing out excess air and message marinade over steak. Transfer to refrigerator and allow to marinate 3 - 6 hours.
• Preheat a grill over medium-high heat to about 425 degrees (partway through preheating clean grill grates if they aren't already clean).
• With veggies on cutting board, drizzle with oil and lightly toss to coat (I actually don't toss the onion because I like it to stay in chunks, when you thread the onion on layer in chunks about 2 - 3 slices so they don't burn up).
• Sprinkle veggies evenly with garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. To assemble kebabs layer steak and veggies onto kebabs in desired order, work to fit 4 steak pieces onto each kebab (I like to layer 2 onion slices together).
• Brush grill grates lightly with oil. Place kebabs on grill and grill until center of steak registers about 140 - 145 degrees for medium doneness, turning kebabs occasionally, about 8 - 9 minutes. Serve warm.

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.

SUMMERTIME SHISH KABOB RECIPE

Steps:

• Fire up the grill.
• Layer each ingredient onto the skewers, allowing enough room to cook. Don't overcrowd.
• Layer the skewers onto the preheated grill. Be mindful not to lay the skewers against the grates and not with the grates.
• Be sure to rotate your skewers during cooking to allow them to not only cook evenly, but for grill marks. (I'm a sucker for good grill marks.)
• Once each ingredient is cooked, remove it from the grill.
• Enjoy!
