FANTASTIC GRILLED BEEF KABOBS!



Fantastic Grilled Beef Kabobs! image

My family *loves* these kabobs, plan ahead the beef needs to marinate 8 hours or overnight is even better, if you are using wooden skewers make certain to soak them in cold water for a minimum of 30 minutes before using them for grilling or they will burn, this recipe serves 3-4 people (two skewers each) but I would suggest to double the recipe if you are serving more than 4 people --- cooking time is only estimated and prep time includes marinating time. The French dressing can be replaced with Russian dressing if desired, you will love these! :)

Tips:

  • Choose the right beef: Select tender cuts of beef, such as sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin, for the best kabobs.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with delicious flavors.
  • Use wooden skewers: Wooden skewers are the traditional choice for kabobs, as they are less likely to burn than metal skewers.
  • Soak the skewers: Soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling prevents them from burning.
  • Skewer the beef tightly: Thread the beef pieces onto the skewers tightly to prevent them from falling off during grilling.
  • Grill the kabobs over medium heat: Grilling the kabobs over medium heat helps cook the beef evenly without burning it.
  • Turn the kabobs frequently: Turn the kabobs frequently during grilling to ensure even cooking.
  • Cook the kabobs to the desired doneness: The cooking time for the kabobs will depend on the desired doneness. For medium-rare, cook for 8-10 minutes per side; for medium, cook for 10-12 minutes per side; and for well-done, cook for 12-14 minutes per side.
  • Let the kabobs rest: Allow the kabobs to rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Conclusion:
