Greek Beef Kabobs With Whipped Feta Tzatziki Dip Food

GREEK BEEF KABOBS & HOMEMADE TZATZIKI

Steps:

• For the kabobs, place all the ingredients, minus the chives, in a large bowl. Stir to combine and let marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour. Heat a grill to 300 F, spear the pieces on metal skewers, and grill for 5 minutes on each side. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Note: you can follow this same method via a grill pan on the stove, just be sure to grease the pan first.
• For the traditional and Paleo-friendly tzatziki: whisk the ingredients together and set aside until ready to serve. Note: for the coconut milk-based tzatziki, you may need to whisk vigorously until all lumps are out. Add more lemon juice or even water until you get the consistency you like.
• Serve the kabobs with an additional drizzle of olive oil, sea salt, and fresh chives next to the tzatziki.
• Enjoy!

GREEK BEEF KABOBS WITH WHIPPED FETA TZATZIKI DIP

Steps:

• Add vegetables to a freezer bag or large bowl. Set aside.
• Whisk all of the Marinade ingredients together in a large bowl or large freezer bag (whatever dish you are going to use to marinate your beef). Remove 2 tablespoons Marinade and add to vegetables. Toss to coat. Refrigerate.
• Add beef to remaining Marinade and toss to coat. Marinate 4-6 hours in the refrigerator.
• Meanwhile, dice cucumber and add it to a fine mesh sieve. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir. Let sit at least 15 minutes then press down on cucumbers with the back of a spoon to release extra juices. Set aside.
• Add feta and cream cheese to food processor and pulse until cheeses are mixed. Continue to mix 3-4 minutes until cheeses are very smooth. Add remaining Whipped Feta Tzatziki ingredients, including cucumber, and pulse until smooth. Refrigerate. Stir in milk a little at a time if needed when ready to serve in order to thin to desired consistency.
• NOTE: Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes in water before grilling or broiling.
• When ready to cook, thread beef, and veggies onto skewers.
• Grease and preheat grill to medium high heat. Grill skewers until lightly charred all over, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. You can check a beef cube for doneness if desired. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
• Serve with chilled Whipped Feta Tzatziki. Kabobs are also delicious with couscous/rice/quinoa and/or pita bread.

• Evenly space kabobs on baking sheet and bake 12-16 minutes, turning once OR until beef reaches desired doneness (cooking time will vary depending on steak size, so you can check a beef cube for doneness if desired). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
