MOM'S BEEF SHISH KABOBS
My Mom has cooked this recipe for as long as I remember. Now that I live on my own, I can't wait to go back home over the holidays to have this excellent dish. Mom would probably be upset that I gave it away, but it is so delicious that I think everyone should have a chance to experience it. Technically shish kabobs use lamb, so these should be called beef kabobs, but this is the family recipe and what we call it.

THE BEST SHISH KEBABS
This backyard grilling staple is nothing short of delicious. But the pre-made kebabs from the grocery store leave us underwhelmed--with tough pieces of meat and chunks of vegetables that always seem to end up either burnt or undercooked. For our beef, we chose tenderloin, which chars beautifully and stays tender during cooking. The vegetables are cut small enough to cook through without burning or falling apart and the tangy marinade brings everything together.

Steps:
- Soak the skewers in water for at least 15 minutes and up to overnight. Pat them dry and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
- Whisk the vinegar, scallions, Dijon, garlic, sugar, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a medium bowl or large liquid measuring cup. Whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified.
- Put the beef pieces, bell peppers, onions and zucchini in a large resealable plastic bag. Reserve 1/4 cup marinade and pour the rest into the bag and seal. Toss the bag so the meat and vegetables are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours and up to overnight.
- Prepare a grill for medium-high heat.
- Thread the meat and vegetables onto a skewer in the following order: beef, zucchini, red pepper, yellow pepper and onion. Repeat the threading three more times, ending with a piece of beef (there should be 5 pieces of beef and 4 pieces of each vegetable on the skewer). Repeat with the remaining skewers and ingredients.
- Sprinkle the kebabs with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Grill at an angle, uncovered, until deep char marks form and the vegetables start to soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Flip the skewers and continue cooking until the beef has reached an internal temperature of 125 degrees F when measured with an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the grill and brush the kebabs with the reserved 1/4 cup marinade. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Butternut squash or zucchini are great choices for kabobs. Butternut squash holds its shape well while cooking, and zucchini adds a delicate flavor and texture.
- Cut the squash into uniform pieces: This will help them cook evenly. If the pieces are too large, they will take longer to cook and may burn on the outside before the inside is done.
- Marinate the beef and squash: Marinating the beef and squash in a flavorful marinade will help them stay juicy and flavorful. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices, or get creative and try a more complex marinade.
- Skewer the beef and squash: Use metal skewers for best results. Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Cook the kabobs over medium heat: This will help prevent the beef from becoming tough. Cook the kabobs for about 10-12 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked through and the squash is tender.
- Serve the kabobs with your favorite sides: Rice, grilled vegetables, or a simple salad are all great options.
Conclusion:
Beef and squash shish kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for summer grilling. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your kabobs are cooked perfectly and bursting with flavor. So fire up the grill and enjoy this delicious summer dish!
