MOM'S BEEF SHISH KABOBS



Mom's Beef Shish Kabobs image

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.

Time 16h45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅓ cup vegetable oil
½ cup soy sauce
¼ cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon coarsely cracked black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 ½ pounds lean beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
16 mushroom caps
8 metal skewers, or as needed
2 green bell peppers, cut into chunks
1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
1 large onion, cut into large squares

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.

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 pounds boneless lamb cut from the leg with its fat into 1/2-inch cubes
1 cup high-quality full-fat plain yogurt
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons onion juice (from 1 grated medium-size onion)
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
8 (10-inch) metal or wooden skewers
4 pita bread
1 cup Cacik, recipe follows
1 large cucumber, peeled, seeded and grated
Salt, to taste
3 garlic cloves, mashed
2 cups thick, high-quality full-fat plain yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
3/4 teaspoon dried mint
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Skewer the lamb cubes on the skewers. Stir together the yogurt, olive oil and onion juice in a glass or ceramic pan or bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the lamb skewers, coat with the marinade and refrigerate, covered, for 4 hours. Prepare a charcoal fire and let it die down a bit or preheat a gas grill for 15 minutes on low. Set the skewers on a skewer holder over the fire and grill until golden brown and succulent, turning often, about 20 minutes. Or, lacking a skewer holder, place them on the grill and grill to perfection. Serve with or on a piece grill-warmed pita bread and the cacik on the side.
  • Toss grated cucumber with a light sprinkling of salt. Leave for 30 minutes. Drain the cucumber, squeezing out all the liquid. Pound the garlic in a mortar with 1 teaspoon salt until completely mashed. Stir the garlic into the yogurt and beat with a fork until smooth. Stir in the cucumber, the dill, mint and olive oil and stir until the consistency of a thick soup. Refrigerate for an hour and serve cold.

THE BEST SHISH KEBABS



The Best Shish Kebabs image

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.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
4 scallions, finely chopped
2 tablespoons Dijon
2 large cloves garlic, finely grated
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1 pound beef tenderloin, cut into 1- to 1 1/2-inch pieces (about 20 pieces)
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 16 pieces)
1 medium yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 16 pieces)
2 medium red onions, root left intact, cut into 16 wedges
1 large zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch thick rounds (about 16 pieces)

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.

Nutrition Facts : Nutritional Facts Serves

Tips:

  • Use fresh okara. Fresh okara has a higher moisture content, which makes it easier to bind and form into kabobs. If you're using frozen okara, thaw it completely before using.
  • Add plenty of flavorings. Okara is a mild-flavored ingredient, so it's important to add plenty of flavorings to your kabobs. Some good options include garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil.
  • Don't overcook the kabobs. Okara kabobs are best when they're cooked through but still slightly tender. Overcooking will make them tough and dry.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Okara kabobs are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as teriyaki sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or peanut sauce.

Conclusion:

Okara shish kabobs are a healthy and delicious way to enjoy this versatile ingredient. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a new way to use okara, give these kabobs a try!
