Kev and I LOVE this recipe. It is kind of a pain in the bum, but it is so so worth it. I would make these every week if I had the time. Here it is…
Cut up chicken/beef into even chunks
Chicken…
Beef! Uhhhh….yum?!
TIP: We love to buy pot roast on sale, cut it up into chunks and freeze it. It makes the yummiest kabobs and it’s nice to have them already cut up.
I often experiment with different marinades, but here’s the recipe for one of my favs for chicken…
***********************************
Now, for the beef.
This time, I chose to go the easy route.
I just bought a good ‘ol McCormick Grill Mates Montreal Steak marinade pack.
Yummy and easy.
Just follow the directions of the back of the package.
It’s basically the marinade mix, vinegar, oil and water.
Mix it up in a bag or bowl
Add the beef…
Marinate in the fridge for 1/2 hour or longer
TIP: I love it when I remember to do all this earlier in the day. It makes the meat so flavorful and yummy AND it saves on prep time later on. Cool.
Moving on…
If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes…
I bought these at Walmart for $1.00 (for 100 of them!)
Chop all veggies
I love peppers, onions, tomatoes, pineapple, zucchini and summer squash
Some people like mushrooms…I do not…bleh…
This time I used peppers, onions and pineapple. We sometimes use fresh pineapple instead of canned and it is awesome!
Put everything on the skewers.
I chose to do the meat and the veggies separate. I’ve mixed them together before and it works out fine. I just like to separate them so I don’t have to worry about raw meat juices and things.
Grill it up!
We love to serve this atop brown rice or quinoa. If you want to know how to cook quinoa, click here.
We also like to top it with a little low-sodium soy sauce.
Kabobs with Quinoa….yum!
Enjoy!
