Steps:
- To prepare this Greek beef souvlaki recipe, cut the beef into equal sized (3 cm/1 inch) cubes and set aside.
- Prepare the marinade for the beef kabobs. In a large bowl add all the ingredients for the marinade and the meat and blend to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them marinade for at least 1 hour in the fridge. Preferably leave them to marinade overnight so they soak up even more all those wonderful flavours.
- When you are ready to cook the kabobs, prepare the vegetables. Cut the peppers and onion into 3-3.5 cm equal wide squares. Place them in a bowl, drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil and season with salt and ground pepper.
- For this Beef souvlaki recipe, you will need about 9-10 wooden skewers, depending on how big you want them to be. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to prevent them from burning. And make sure to cut the tip so it fits your grill pan!
- comfortably, on the skewers. Use 1 piece of pepper and 1 piece of onion between each piece of meat.
- and drizzle with olive oil.
- over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil and cook the kabobs in batches for about 8 minutes. 2 minutes on each side until nicely coloured and cooked through. (Baste with olive oil as you go.)
- Place the beef skewers on a plate, cover with foil and let them rest for 3-4 minutes before serving.

GREEK BEEF SOUVLAKI
Steps:
- Soak wooden skewers for 30 mins in lemon juice or water
- Place the meat, oil, onion, and all the spices into a mixing bowl and mix to coat all the pieces of meat. Let rest for 1 hour ( you can go up to 24 hours, I find 24 hours gives the best flavor!
- Skewer the beef about 3-4 oz per skewer.
- Get your BBQ on High for 15 mins and just before you place the meat on the grill. Turn down the temp to Med as not to burn the outside before the meat is cooked! Cooked the skewers for 7-10 mins or until the internal temp reaches 145F
- Remove and let rest for 5 mins and squeeze fresh lemon over and serve!

SOUVLAKI
This is the way I do souvlaki or shish kebab - and I mean the sandwich with pita bread you can find on nearly every street corner in Greece, not just the skewered meat. This is the best! Prep time does not include marinating time. OAMC instructions provided.

Steps:
- To marinate meat: Cut tenderloin into bite-size chunks and put into a Tupperware with remaining marinade ingredients.
- Swish everything around to distribute, put in fridge and forget for a day (this long marination is not absolutely necessary- but longer means more flavour. If you haven't the time, just do what you can).
- When ready to BBQ, skewer meat onto metal or wooden skewers (remember to soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 1/2 an hour first) and bbq until the meat is nicely brown all over, and you know you can't possibly wait any longer to eat.
- To prepare the fixings: As you are barbecuing the meat, brush as many pita breads as there are souvlaki generously with olive oil and put on the bbq to crisp slightly or alternatively, into a hot frying pan, and cook about 30-45 seconds per side or until starting to brown and give off a yummy,'toasty' smell.
- Here is the 'technique' part.
- Have cut some squares of foil a bit larger than the pita breads.
- Put a square in the palm of your hand and lay a pita in the centre sitting in your flat palm.
- Take a skewer of meat and place in center of pita.
- Squeeze palm shut around meat to get a grip with the pita and pull out skewer, leaving meat inside the bread.
- Open up your palm slightly, making the pita gape open and throw in some onion, slices of tomato, a good dollop of tzatziki, some parsley, along with a healthy shake of salt.
- Roll sandwich up by squeezing palm again (gently this time as the salad stuff is inside) and enclosing neatly with the foil, giving a twist on the bottom so no yummy juices drip out onto your clothes as you are eating this!
- Enjoy our contribution to fast-food!
- You will never settle for a Big Mac again!
- To freeze: Place meat and marinade in a freezer bag or rigid freezer container.
- To serve: Thaw in fridge overnight and proceed with cooking directions.
SOUVLAKI -- SMALL SKEWERS OF PORK
Steps:
- Soak skewers in water for at least 1 hour. In a bowl, toss together pork, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, oregano, thyme, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper.

Serve immediately in a pita, topped with Shredded Salad.
- Toss all the ingredients in a large bowl, taste and adjust seasonings.
SOUVLAKI (WICKED KEBABS)
We Brits often think of kebabs as a guilty pleasure. But, having seen the love and attention that goes into preparing a proper Greek kebab, I can assure you there is nothing to feel guilty about. It's all about quality ingredients and fresh zingy flavours. I'd always thought dried mint sounded a bit naff, but actually it turned out to be very delicious and it really helped create a more authentic taste. A few of these with some cold beers would be wicked. Cook them on a barbecue or in a griddle pan, depending on what's easier for you.

Steps:
- For the kebabs: Put the pork chunks, dried mint, dried oregano, garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, and black pepper into a bowl and use your clean hands to mix everything together really well. Cover with plastic wrap or clingfilm, then pop into the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or longer if you want the flavours to get a bit more intense. Meanwhile, blacken the peppers directly over the flame of your hob, in a hot dry griddle pan or under a hot grill. Turn them every so often and when they look almost ruined, pop them into a bowl, cover with plastic wrap or clingfilm and put to one side to steam for 5 minutes or so, this will help their skins to come off.
- To make the tzatziki: Coarsely grate the cucumber into a sieve set up over a bowl. Add a few good pinches of salt, then use your hands to squeeze out as much water as you can. Pour the water away, then tip the cucumber into the empty bowl and add the yoghurt. Pound the garlic in a pestle and mortar with a good pinch of salt until you have a paste, and spoon that into the bowl with the cucumber. Add the dried mint and red wine vinegar and mix really well. Have a taste to make sure you've got the balance right, then put aside. Preheat a griddle pan or grill on a high heat. Thread the skewers through the marinated pork pieces, leaving little spaces between them so that the heat cooks everything evenly. Cook the kebabs on the screaming hot griddle or grill for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally until done on all sides. Warm your flatbreads in the oven or in a hot dry pan while your kebabs are cooking. Just before your kebabs are ready, peel and deseed your blackened peppers, then tear them into strips and put them into a bowl. Roll up your mint leaves, finely slice them and add to the bowl along with the dill. Add a few splashes of red wine vinegar, a pinch or two of salt and pepper and a lug of extra-virgin olive oil. Toss and mix together, then have a taste to check the balance of flavours. Cut your lemon into wedges. Put a dollop of tzatziki and the meat from 1 skewer on each warmed flatbread. Top with some of the pepper mixture, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Life doesn't get much better.

GREEK SOUVLAKI
This is posted in response to a request for "skewer" recipes. A real coincidence as this was being prepared on the food network by Nick Makris from Nick's Diner in Regina Sask - it looked SO GOOD I just had to post it. Use pork or lamb - serving with pita bread is optional but tzatziki is a must! Prep time includes a minimum of 2 hours for marinating.

- Chop steak into 1-inch pieces and set aside. Combine oil, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and lemon juice and stir to combine. Combine steak and marinade in a large zip lock bag, press as much as the air out as you can, and seal. Chill for 1 hour or up to 24 hours (the longer you can marinate the more tender and flavorful the meat will be).
- Spread cucumber slices out on a paper towel. Sprinkle generously with salt on both sides and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Wrap cucumber slices in paper towels, squeeze excess liquid out, and transfer to a food processor or blender. Add remaining sauce ingredients to blender and pulse until smooth and creamy. Chill until ready to use.
- When ready to cook your kebabs, thread the steak pieces onto skewers and discard marinade. Grill over medium-high heat for 10-12 minutes, rotating throughout to ensure even cooking. Alternately you can bake them in a large baking dish arranged in a single layer at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes until cooked through.
