THE BEST MARINADE FOR KABOBS! (BEEF, PORK AND LAMB)



The Best Marinade for Kabobs! (Beef, Pork and Lamb) image

I have a few favorite marinades that I have used for years this is one of them, this marinade will tenderize and add flavor to any cut of meat to absolute perfection and makes fantastic kabobs! This can also be used for chicken but because of the vinegar amount marinading time will need to be reduced to a maximum of 6 hours or the acid vinegar will start to "cook" the chicken, use only honey no other substitutions!.. you will love this marinade!

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tablespoon dijon mustard
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak or sirloin tips (cut into 1-inch cubes)
1 pound baby Yukon gold potatoes
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons dijon or whole-grain mustard
1 Tablespoon dried rosemary
8 ounces crimini mushrooms
1 red onion (cut into 1-inch cubes (about 3 onion layers each))
2 green bell peppers (cut into 1-inch pieces)

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, mix the marinade ingredients together. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the marinade.
  • Place the cubed meat into a large plastic zip-tight bag and pour all but the reserved marinade over it, then seal and squish to coat well. Place in the refrigerator for 1-6 hours to marinate. This is also a good time to place wooden skewers in water to soak.
  • Meanwhile, boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water until just tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 6-8 minutes. Drain well, then toss with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, rosemary, and mustard. Set aside.
  • Preheat grill to high heat while preparing the kabobs. Chop all vegetables into chunks that are roughly the same size as the cubed steak, keeping 3 layers of onion together in each chunk. Drizzle vegetables with the reserved marinade.
  • Thread alternating pieces of meat, vegetables, and potatoes until the skewers are filled, aiming for 4-5 pieces of steak on each skewer.
  • Place kabobs on the grill directly over the heat and reduce heat to medium-high. Grill for 8-10 minutes, flipping every 2-3 minutes, until the meat is cooked medium-rare to medium and the vegetables start to char just around the edges.
  • Remove from the grill and rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips for Making the Best Kabob Marinade:

  • Choose the right meat: Beef, lamb, pork, and chicken are all great options for kabobs. If using beef, choose a tender cut like flank steak or sirloin. For lamb, try leg of lamb or lamb chops. Pork tenderloin or loin chops are good choices for pork kabobs. And for chicken, boneless, skinless breasts or thighs are ideal.
  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your kabobs. Use fresh herbs and spices, and don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Some popular marinade ingredients include olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, onion, cumin, paprika, and chili powder.
  • Let the meat marinate for at least 30 minutes: This will give the flavors time to penetrate the meat and make it more tender. If you have time, you can marinate the meat for up to overnight.
  • Cook the kabobs over high heat: This will help to sear the meat and keep it juicy. You can grill, broil, or pan-fry the kabobs. If grilling, cook the kabobs over direct heat for 8-10 minutes per side, or until cooked through.
  • Serve the kabobs with your favorite sides: Some popular sides for kabobs include rice, vegetables, and pita bread. You can also serve kabobs with a sauce, such as tzatziki sauce or hummus.

Conclusion:

Kabobs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can make kabobs that are sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give kabobs a try!
