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.

Steps:
- Whisk the vegetable oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, black pepper, and salt together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add the beef, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
- Add the mushrooms to the bag, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and reseal the bag; marinate in the refrigerator another 8 hours.
- Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat, and lightly oil the grate.
- Remove the beef and mushrooms from the marinade, shaking off any excess liquid. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside for basting.
- Thread pieces of green bell pepper, beef, red bell pepper, mushroom, and onion onto metal skewers, repeating until all ingredients are skewered.
- Cook the skewers on the preheated grill, turning frequently and brushing generously with the reserved marinade until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink in the center, about 15 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak are all good options for kabobs. These cuts are relatively thin and tender, so they cook quickly and evenly.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef helps to tenderize it and infuse it with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger is a good place to start.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Kabobs are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. Try using a variety of colorful vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes.
- Skewer the kabobs properly: When skewering the kabobs, be sure to alternate the beef and vegetables. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Cook the kabobs over medium heat: Cooking the kabobs over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes, or until the beef is cooked through.
- Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce: Kabobs are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, or ranch dressing.
