Shish Kebab Saute Recipes

SHISH KEBAB SAUTE

Steps:

• Trim fat and cut steak across the grain into bite-size strips about 1/4 inch thick and 1/4 to 1 inch wide (bite size pieces like in chop steak).
• Place in marinade in a shallow bowl, cover and chill 2-3 hours or longer.
• Drain meat well on paper towels, reserving marinade for later use.
• Cook onion in 2 tablespoons of the butter in large frying pan over medium heat until it is lightly browned.
• Add green pepper, cook stirring until limp and bright green. Remove and reserve the vegetables.
• Brown mushrooms in 2 tablespoons more butter in the same pan; add to the green pepper mixture.
• In remaining butter, cook steak strips quickly, about a third at a time.
• Return all the steak and vegetables to the pan with tomato wedges and 2 tablespoons of the reserved marinade.
• Cook, stirring lightly, just until mixture is heated through.
• Salt to taste.

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.

MOM'S BEEF SHISH KABOBS

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.
• Add the mushrooms to the bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and reseal the bag; marinate in the refrigerator another 8 hours.
• Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
• Remove the beef and mushrooms from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside for basting.
• Thread pieces of green bell pepper, beef, red bell pepper, mushroom, and onion onto metal skewers, repeating until all ingredients are skewered.
• Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently and brushing generously with the reserved marinade until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.

GRILLED SOUTHWESTERN SHISH KEBABS

Steps:

• Combine lager, white onion, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, salsa, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix together until marinade is well blended. Add beef carefully. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate, 6 hours to overnight.
• Thread the marinated beef, pineapple chunks, red onion chunks, green bell pepper pieces, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes alternately through skewers. Place shish kebabs on a baking sheet or jelly roll pan.
• Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill shish kebabs until beef is firm and reddish-pink and juicy in the center, about 4 minutes per side.
