Texas Beef Kabobs Recipes

BEEF KABOBS

Steps:

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes. I prefer to use metal skewers.
• Place the beef cubes in a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and use your hands or a large spoon to mix well.
• Thread the seasoned beef cubes on the skewers and place them on a large rimmed broiler-safe baking sheet. You can line the baking sheet with foil for easier cleanup.
• Heat your broiler on high (450-500 degrees F).
• When the broiler is hot, broil the kabobs, directly under the heating element (4 inches below), until cooked to your liking. I broil them for 3 minutes on each side. Serve immediately.
