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.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy clean up. Lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
• 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.

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!
