FANTASTIC GRILLED BEEF KABOBS!



Fantastic Grilled Beef Kabobs! image

My family *loves* these kabobs, plan ahead the beef needs to marinate 8 hours or overnight is even better, if you are using wooden skewers make certain to soak them in cold water for a minimum of 30 minutes before using them for grilling or they will burn, this recipe serves 3-4 people (two skewers each) but I would suggest to double the recipe if you are serving more than 4 people --- cooking time is only estimated and prep time includes marinating time. The French dressing can be replaced with Russian dressing if desired, you will love these! :)

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Select a tender cut of beef, such as sirloin, tenderloin, or rib eye. These cuts will stay juicy and flavorful when grilled.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful marinade will help tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, or you can try a more complex marinade with ingredients like yogurt, honey, or citrus juice.
  • Skewer the beef: Use metal or wooden skewers to skewer the beef. Make sure the skewers are long enough to hold the beef securely, and leave some space between the pieces of beef so that they can cook evenly.
  • Grill the beef kabobs: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the beef kabobs for 8-10 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Let the beef kabobs rest: Once the beef kabobs are cooked, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

Grilled beef kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer cookouts. By following these tips, you can make sure your beef kabobs are juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as rice, grilled vegetables, or a salad, and enjoy a delicious meal that everyone will love.
