Time 50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 lb boneless beef sirloin steak (3/4 inch thick), trimmed of fat
12 uncooked deveined peeled medium or large shrimp, thawed if frozen, tail shells removed
1/2 cup teriyaki marinade and sauce (from 10-oz bottle)
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
12 bamboo skewers (4 to 6 inch)

Steps:

  • Cut beef into 24 (3/4-inch) pieces. In medium bowl, mix beef, shrimp and teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle with pepper. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes, stirring frequently. Meanwhile, soak skewers in water at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning.
  • Spray grill rack with cooking spray. Heat gas or charcoal grill. On each skewer, thread 1 beef piece, 1 shrimp and another beef piece, leaving space between each piece; reserve marinade.
  • Place kabobs on grill. Cover grill; cook over medium heat 5 to 6 minutes, turning once and brushing with marinade once or twice, until shrimp are pink. Discard any remaining marinade.

SURF AND TURF KEBABS



Surf and Turf Kebabs image

Kebabs are a family favorite--offering a little bit of everything for everyone--and these are no exception. Plump shrimp, cubes of sirloin and wheels of corn are grilled together before being brushed with a sweet and sour peach sauce. And since they're grilled indoors, you can enjoy them any time of the year.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 shallot, finely diced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
4 small ripe peaches (about 1 pound), pitted and coarsely chopped
1/4 cup peach preserves
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 ears corn, shucked and each cut into 8 wheels
1 1/4 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 16 chunks (about 1 1/2-inch pieces)
16 large peeled and deveined shrimp (about 1 pound)
Olive oil, for brushing
White rice, for serving
Green salad, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until melted and foamy. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the sugar and peaches and cook, stirring, until the sugar is melted and the peaches are starting to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the peach preserves, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, red pepper flakes, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the peaches are completely softened and the mixture is thickened to the consistency of loose jam, 10 to 15 minutes depending on the juiciness of the peaches. Discard the thyme sprigs. If the peaches have not completely broken down, mash them with a potato masher to help them along. Keep warm over low heat.
  • Meanwhile, heat a large grill pan over high heat.
  • Thread one piece of corn onto a 15-inch metal skewer, followed by a piece of sirloin and then a piece of shrimp; repeat in that order until you have 4 of each item on the skewer. Repeat with the remaining corn, sirloin and shrimp on 3 additional 15-inch metal skewers. Brush the kebabs with olive oil and sprinkle generously with salt and black pepper.
  • Cook the kebabs, turning a few times, until charred all over and the steak and shrimp are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Transfer the kebabs to a platter and brush generously with the peach sauce. Serve with rice, salad and extra peach sauce on the side.

SURF & TURF KABOBS



Surf & Turf Kabobs image

This is another recipe from Jacqueline Bellefontaine's What's Cooking Barbecue with a few alterations from me. I love it because the marinade time is short. You really don't need any more time than stated. It is thick and sticks to the meats beautifully. You will think that there is not enough to marinade the amount of meat, but I thought it was perfect. (Not enough to have extra for rice) The flavors went so well together. Prep time does not include the marinate. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh, flavorful seafood and meat for the best results.
  • Marinate the seafood and meat: Marinating helps to tenderize the seafood and meat and infuse them with flavor. You can use a variety of marinades, such as a simple olive oil and lemon juice marinade or a more complex marinade with herbs, spices, and garlic.
  • Cook the seafood and meat properly: Seafood and meat cook quickly, so it's important to cook them over high heat for a short amount of time. Overcooking will make the seafood and meat tough and dry.
  • Serve the kabobs immediately: Grilled surf and turf kabobs are best served hot off the grill. You can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces, such as a tartar sauce, a cocktail sauce, or a lemon butter sauce.

Conclusion:

Grilled surf and turf kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a summer cookout or party. With a variety of flavors and textures, these kabobs are sure to please everyone at the table. So fire up the grill and give this recipe a try!
