BEEF SHISH KEBAB RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare up to 20 skewers. If using bamboo or wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least one hour before use.
• Mix the spices: In a bowl, mix together the spices to make a spice rub for the cubed meat.
• Season the meat cubes with the spices and combine well so that the meat is evenly covered.
• Prepare the marinade and add the seasoned meat cubes. In a large and deep dish, combine the marinade ingredients of red onions, lemon juice, olive oil and red wine. Add the seasoned meat to the marinade, and work the meat into the marinade well with your hands. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (preferably 2 to 4 hours or overnight depending on the kind of meat you are using).
• Remove the meat from the fridge one hour before grilling.
• Lightly oil the grates of a gas grill and heat for 10 minutes on high.
• Thread the meat and vegetables on skewers. Thread the meat, onions, green peppers and red peppers onto the prepared skewers, alternating until you run out of meat (about 4 pieces of meat per skewer with the vegetables nestled in between as you see in the photos). Season with more freshly ground black pepper. (Do not discard the marinade yet)
• Grill. Place the shish kabobs on the grill. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is and how well-cooked you like your meat, turning occasionally. While the kabobs are grilling, paint the meat with some of the marinade a couple of times as you turn the skewers around.
• Rest before serving. Remove from the heat and transfer to a serving platter. Allow 5 minutes for the kabobs to rest before serving. Enjoy!

SYRIAN BEEF KABOBS

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients but oil, lemon wedges, pita and salad in a bowl, and knead very well into a paste.
• Hold a flat metal skewer - not nonstick, and at least 12 inches long - point up in one hand. Dip other hand in a bowl of water, take a handful of meat mixture and form it around base of skewer in a small sausage shape with pointed ends. Repeat, working your way up the skewer. Each skewer should hold three or four kebabs. (You can also just form meat into eight patties.).
• Lay finished skewers on a sheet pan, and smooth kebabs with fingers, making sure they are fairly smooth and secured on skewers. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Prepare charcoal grill, or turn gas grill to medium-low. Spray or brush oil on clean grill rack, and set within a few inches of the fire. Fire should not be too hot, and rack should be at least several inches from heat source.
• When rack is heated through, gently squeeze the kebabs to be sure they are secure on the skewers, and place skewers on grill. Meat should start sizzling gently; it should not spit and turn black. Cook undisturbed until deep brown, at least 7 minutes. When meat lifts easily from grill, slide a spatula under kebabs and turn over. Continue grilling until browned on both sides and juicy, but cooked through, 10 to 15 minutes total. Serve hot with lemon wedges and pita that has been warmed on the grill. Put a few spoonfuls of salad in each pita with meat.
