SPICED BEEF AND CHICKEN KABOBS WITH CUCUMBER YOGURT
Steps:
- For the yogurt sauce: Stir together the yogurt, mint, lemon juice and cucumbers. Add salt to taste. Refrigerate while the meat marinates. (The sauce can be made up to 1 day ahead.)
- For the kabobs: Mix the yogurt, cilantro, coriander, cumin, turmeric, allspice, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper together in a large bowl. Add the beef and chicken (you can separate them into 2 bowls if you prefer) and toss to coat in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
- Prepare a grill for cooking over medium-high heat.
- Toss the peppers and onions with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste.
- Thread the chicken and beef onto separate skewers (about 5 pieces of meat per skewer), threading a piece of onion between each piece of meat--for even cooking, avoid overcrowding the skewers. Use 2 skewers to thread the peppers, to make them easier to turn. (Make 4 double skewers with 3 peppers each.)
- Grill the kabobs, turning occasionally, until lightly charred on the outside and cooked through, 6 to 7 minutes for the beef (medium-rare), 10 to 12 minutes for the chicken, and about 12 minutes for the vegetables.
- Serve the kabobs with lemon wedges and the yogurt sauce on the side.

CURRY BEEF MARINADE KEBABS
My Dad found this recipe in a newspaper about 35 years ago. He lived in Calcutta for some years and grew to love all kinds of Indian dishes. Curries, though, were his favorite. We use it to marinade our beef for shish-ke-bab. Use a really good grade of curry, it makes or breaks the recipe. East Indian is best, but Asian will do. You can use round steak, if you want, the marinating will tenderize it. Also, if I may suggest someone trying lamb? I always triple the curry and double the onion, garlic and ginger. We really *love* curry... Prep time does not include overnight marinating. Cooking time is an estimation. Total time will depend on what type of meat you are using, how big your meat cubes are and the size and consistency of your veg. This isn't as complex as it looks as it is mostly a matter of organization. Give it a try!

Steps:
- Day 1:.
- Measure beer without a head.
- Mix with remaining ingredients, excepting meat and vegetables.
- Pour marinade over beef in sealable container.
- Refrigerate overnight.
- Day 2:.
- If you wish, the vegetables can all be prepped the day before and kept in the refrigerator until it's time to assemble to kebabs.
- Bring large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add halved peppers. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the red peppers begin to lose their skins. Plunge in cold water to stop the cooking. Remove when cool, drain well and cut into 3 pieces for each half pepper. Remove skin from 14 red pepper pieces. Set all aside.
- Dump meat and marinade into a colander over a saucepan. Rinse lightly to remove chunks of marinade. Remove meat and pat dry. Set aside.
- To the marinade add sauce ingredients (except for beer): oil, curry, pureed onion, garlic and ginger. Bring to a boil, boil for 5 minutes. You may skim if you wish, I usually don't. Reduce heat and add the beer. Stir well and simmer until reduced to the point where the sauce will stick to the meat and vegetables while cooking.
- Preheat grill to 300 degrees.
- Assemble kebabs in whatever order you wish. I do a piece of red pepper with skin, onion, meat, tomato, onion meat, etc and end up with a piece of tomato, skin out.
- (Putting the pepper and tomato on the ends of the kebabs helps to hold the whole thing together on the grill.).
- Place loaded skewers on preheated grill, turn every 10 minutes or so, brushing frequently with the sauce.
- When the meat is firm and the tomatoes are soft and starting to blacken, give the kebabs a good brushing with the sauce and turn the heat to high for a short period of time. This will finish the caramelizing of the glaze and the veggies will be lovely, done through and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Remove from grill, serve with anything you want.
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."

Tips:
- Use high-quality beef: Opt for tender cuts like sirloin or flank steak, slicing them thinly across the grain for maximum tenderness.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of yogurt, spices, and herbs enhances its flavor and keeps it moist during cooking.
- Skewer the beef properly: Thread the beef pieces onto skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not overcrowded. This allows for even cooking.
- Cook the skewers over high heat: Grill or broil the skewers over high heat to quickly sear the outside and retain the juiciness of the beef.
- Don't overcook the beef: Keep a close eye on the skewers during cooking to prevent overcooking. Overcooked beef becomes tough and dry.
- Serve with flavorful accompaniments: Complement the curried beef skewers with various sides, such as basmati rice, naan bread, or a refreshing yogurt sauce.
