Beef Shish Kebabs

If you are running out of ideas to make for your BBQ picnic this summer, look no more! Nothing completes the perfect summer barbecue more than juicy and tender beef shish kebabs. They are as amazing to look at as they are to eat! Meat and vegetables on a stick? Where do we sign up?

These juicy beef shish kebabs are made with beef steaks that are marinated in a lovely blend of cilantro, mixed herbs and garlic powder. Be sure to also toss your vegetables in little olive oil before skewering to prevent them shrivelling up and drying out on the BBQ.

Once marinated and skewered, these beef shish kebabs take 10-15 minutes to be grilled to perfection! All you have to worry about is figuring out what dishes to serve alongside these. How about some couscous or rice, roasted corn, a fresh green salad, or just on their own with a tall glass of refreshing sparkling strawberry lemonade? Yes, please!

This recipe is perfect for 2 people, but If you are planning to make more, simply double or triple the recipe below. Go wild!

Variation

These kebabs can be relatively lean when using beef steak which are trimmed of visible fat. But if you are watching your hips very closely, this recipe will work equally well with lean chicken breasts. Just make sure to adjust the cooking time to ensure that the chicken is cooked properly and thoroughly.

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, add steak, olive oil, cider vinegar, dried herbs, garlic powder, ground coriander and smoked paprika. Use your hands to massage the marinade into the beef and season with salt and pepper. Cover and leave in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible.
2. In a large bowl, add bell peppers, mushroom and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine
3. Skewer the meat and vegetables onto your kebab sticks and prepare the BBQ.
4. Grill the shish kebabs for 10-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking. Depending on how you like your meat cooked, keep it on for longer, or remove it sooner – but you want to ensure that the peppers soften and caramelise sufficiently.
