TENDER BEEF KABOBS (SHASHLIK) RECIPE



Tender Beef Kabobs (Shashlik) Recipe image

The key to great kabobs is to give your meat plenty of time to marinate and don't rush it! I like to marinate at least 4 to 6 hours.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 lbs good quality beef (I used top sirloin, cut into 1 1/2" pieces)
2 Bell peppers (any color, sliced into 1 1/2" wide pieces)
1 large Purple Onion (sliced into 1 1/2" wide pieces)
15 medium bamboo or wood skewers
1 cup mild olive oil
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 medium lemons)
1 tsp salt (we love fine sea salt)
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
4 garlic cloves (pressed)
3 Tbsp fresh or frozen dill (chopped (or 1 Tbsp dry dill weed))
2 dry bay leaves

Steps:

  • Combine all of your marinade ingredients in a large glass or plastic bowl (do not use aluminum) and stir to combine.
  • Slice meat and transfer it into the marinade bowl, stirring well to coat. Marinate beef in the refrigerate4 to 6 hours, stirring a few times while marinating to make sure meat is evenly marinated. Note: Sometimes after long periods of refrigeration, the oil in the marinade can firm up a bit; it will liquify again if you let the marinated meat sit at room temp 30 minutes before skewering.
  • Soak bamboo or wooden skewers at last 30 min. After the meat is done marinating, slice veggies and skewer them with meat onto Bamboo skewers. Brush/ pour remaining marinade over skewers.
  • Grill over med/high heat for about 8-10 minutes or until you've reached the desired doneness, rotating every 2-3 minutes for even grilling. Remove kebobs from grill and let them rest at least 5 minutes before eating. If you cut into them right away, they will juice out and end up dry. Serve with your favorite steak sauce

GRILLED SKEWERED BEEF

Found online and posted for ZWT 7, South Pacific. The author claims this is of Japanese origin but has become a very popular Polynesian dish. Prep time includes marinating time. This says it makes 24 skewers, but I have difficulty believing that one pound of meat can go that far! Therefore, the number of servings here is a guess.

SUCCULENT BEEF SKEWERS

Agnes Ward, of Stratford, Ontario says, "These are no ordinary beef kabobs! They're herb-infused and need to marinate at least an hour or overnight for the best flavor. If you feel like splurging, this recipe's also fantastic with beef tenderloin."
