MOM'S BEEF SHISH KABOBS



Mom's Beef Shish Kabobs image

My Mom has cooked this recipe for as long as I remember. Now that I live on my own, I can't wait to go back home over the holidays to have this excellent dish. Mom would probably be upset that I gave it away, but it is so delicious that I think everyone should have a chance to experience it. Technically shish kabobs use lamb, so these should be called beef kabobs, but this is the family recipe and what we call it.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 16h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅓ cup vegetable oil
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon prepared mustard

1 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ pounds lean beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
16 mushroom caps
8 metal skewers, or as needed
2 green bell peppers, cut into chunks
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 large onion, cut into large squares

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.

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Opt for tender cuts like tenderloin, strip loin, or sirloin for succulent results.
  • Marinate the beef: Infuse the beef with flavors by marinating it in a mixture of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and other seasonings for at least 30 minutes.
  • Cut the beef in uniform pieces: Consistent sizing ensures even cooking and prevents some pieces from overcooking while others remain undercooked.
  • Skewer the beef tightly: Pack the beef pieces compactly onto the skewers to prevent them from falling off during cooking.
  • Grill or pan-fry the skewers: You can cook the beef skewers on a grill or in a pan over medium-high heat. Make sure to rotate the skewers regularly for even cooking.
  • Cook the beef to your desired doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the beef. For medium-rare, aim for an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C). Adjust the cooking time accordingly for your preferred doneness.
  • Let the beef skewers rest: Once cooked, let the beef skewers rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful experience.

Conclusion:

Succulent beef skewers are a delightful appetizer or main course that are easy to make and packed with flavor. By following these tips and experimenting with different marinade and seasoning combinations, you can create a variety of delectable beef skewer recipes that will impress your family and friends.
