Agnes Ward, of Stratford, Ontario says, "These are no ordinary beef kabobs! They're herb-infused and need to marinate at least an hour or overnight for the best flavor. If you feel like splurging, this recipe's also fantastic with beef tenderloin."

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.

Yield Makes 20 mini skewers

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 skewers
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 1/4 pounds filet mignon or boneless rib-eye, trimmed
2 bunches green onions
salt

Steps:

  • Soak skewers in water for 1/2 hour.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • In a small sauté pan over low heat, toast the sesame seeds, stirring constantly to avoid burning them. When the seeds are golden, remove them from the pan and reserve.
  • Slice the beef into very thin strips - 1 1/2 inches in length, 3/4 inch in width, and as close to 1/4 inches thick as you can get.
  • Slice the white stems of the green onions into 3/4-inch-long pieces; discard the rest.
  • Roll up one piece of beef like a jellyroll. Place it on a skewer, add one piece of green onion, then another piece of beef and another scallion. Repeat with all the skewers. Sprinkle the skewers with salt.
  • To cook: Place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes for medium rare. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve.

Tips:

  • To ensure tender and juicy skewers, select high-quality beef suitable for grilling, such as sirloin, flank steak, or tenderloin.
  • Cut the beef into uniform pieces so they cook evenly. Aim for pieces approximately 1-inch thick and 2-3 inches long.
  • Tenderize the beef before skewering. This can be done by pounding it with a meat mallet or marinating it in a flavorful mixture of herbs, spices, and olive oil.
  • Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling the skewers. This will help prevent them from burning during grilling.
  • Alternate beef pieces with vegetables like bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms on the skewers for a colorful and flavorful presentation.
  • Brush the skewers with oil or marinade before grilling to keep them moist and prevent sticking.
  • Grill the skewers over medium-high heat, turning them frequently to ensure even cooking. The ideal internal temperature for medium-rare beef is 135°F (57°C).
  • Allow the skewers to rest for a few minutes after grilling before serving. This helps the juices redistribute and enhances the flavor.

Conclusion:

Succulent beef skewers are a versatile and delicious grilling option that can be customized to suit your preferences. With careful preparation and attention to cooking techniques, you can create tender, juicy, and flavorful skewers that will impress your friends and family. Explore different marinades, seasonings, and vegetable combinations to create unique and tantalizing beef skewer recipes that will become a staple in your grilling repertoire.
