Korean Mushroom Kebabs Recipes

THE BEST SHISH KEBABS

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.

KOREAN GRILLED MUSHROOM AND SCALLION KEBABS

Steps:

• 1. Cut each mushroom into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cut the white part of the scallions into pieces the length of the mushroom strips (about 1 1/2 inches long). Finely chop the scallion greens. Thread the mushroom strips onto skewers so they will lie flat on the grill, alternating with scallion whites and bell pepper strips, threaded on crosswise. Arrange the kebabs in a baking dish.2. Prepare the marinade. Whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, oil, garlic, half the sesame seeds, and the black pepper in a large bowl. Pour the marinade over the kebabs and marinate at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, turning once.3. Preheat the grill to high.4. When ready to cook, arrange the kebabs on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs and brushing often with the marinade, until the mushrooms are tender and the scallions and pepper are nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes per side (6 to 10 minutes in all). Sprinkle with the chopped scallion greens and remaining sesame seeds and serve hot or at room temperature.Serves 4 to 6
