THE BEST SHISH KEBABS



The Best Shish Kebabs image

This backyard grilling staple is nothing short of delicious. But the pre-made kebabs from the grocery store leave us underwhelmed--with tough pieces of meat and chunks of vegetables that always seem to end up either burnt or undercooked. For our beef, we chose tenderloin, which chars beautifully and stays tender during cooking. The vegetables are cut small enough to cook through without burning or falling apart and the tangy marinade brings everything together.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
4 scallions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon
2 large cloves garlic, finely grated
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces (about 20 pieces)
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 16 pieces)
1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 16 pieces)
2 medium red onions, root left intact, cut into 16 wedges
1 large zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds (about 16 pieces)

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.

1 (8 ounce) package tempeh, cut into 1/2 inch squares
16 fresh white mushrooms
1 medium eggplant, cut into 1 inch cubes
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
16 cherry tomatoes
8 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic

2 cups vegetable broth

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 cup dry couscous
¾ cup raisins
¾ cup drained canned chick-peas (garbanzo beans)
1 lemon

Steps:

  • Place tempeh, mushrooms, eggplant, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes in a large resealable plastic bag.

  • Preheat grill for medium-high heat. Thread tempeh and veggies on skewers. Reserve remaining marinade.

Tips:

  • Choose firm tempeh: For the best kebabs, use firm or extra-firm tempeh. This will help the kebabs hold their shape on the skewers.
  • Marinate the tempeh: Marinating the tempeh before grilling adds flavor and helps keep it moist. You can use a simple marinade made with soy sauce, olive oil, and garlic, or try one of the more complex marinades in the recipes.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: The vegetables you use for your kebabs can vary depending on your preference. Some popular choices include bell peppers, onions, zucchini, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes.
  • Soak the skewers: If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help prevent them from burning on the grill.
  • Grill the kebabs over medium heat: Medium heat will help the kebabs cook evenly without burning. Cook the kebabs for 10-12 minutes, turning them occasionally, or until the tempeh is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve the kebabs with your favorite dipping sauce: A simple yogurt-based sauce or a tangy tahini sauce can be served alongside the kebabs for added flavor.

Conclusion:

Tempeh shish kebabs are a delicious and healthy way to enjoy tempeh. They are easy to make and can be grilled indoors or outdoors. With a variety of marinades and vegetables to choose from, you can customize the kebabs to your own taste.
