SURF & TURF KABOBS

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.

Time 25m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb sirloin steak (or steak of your choice)
18 raw shrimp
5 tablespoons oyster sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 tablespoons lemon juice
4 tablespoons safflower oil

Steps:

  • Cut the steak into bit size pieces and place in a zip-lock bag or a
  • nonmetallic dish. (Zip-lock is just too easy).
  • Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails attached. (I bought the shrimp that were already deveined with tails on).
  • To make the marinade, whisk the oyster sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice and safflower oil in a small bowl until well combined.
  • Pour the mixture over the meat, turning to coat and marinate for 15 minutes.
  • Add the shrimp to the marinade, toss to coat and marinate for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the meat and shrimp from the marinade.
  • Thread meat onto metal or presoaked wooden skewers, alternating the steak with the shrimp.
  • Broil the kabobs over hot coals for 5-10 minutes turning frequently.
  • Transfer to a warm serving plate and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • For the perfect surf and turf kabobs, select high-quality ingredients. Choose tender cuts of steak, such as ribeye or strip loin, and firm, succulent shrimp.
  • To enhance the flavor of the kabobs, marinate the steak and shrimp in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, herbs, spices, and citrus juice for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
  • Skewer the steak and shrimp alternately, ensuring the pieces are evenly distributed. This will help them cook evenly and prevent the steak from overcooking.
  • Grill the kabobs over medium-high heat, turning them frequently, until the steak reaches your desired doneness and the shrimp are pink and opaque.
  • Serve the surf and turf kabobs immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as chimichurri or tzatziki sauce, to enhance the flavors.

Surf and turf kabobs are a delightful culinary experience that combines the best of land and sea. By following these simple tips and using high-quality ingredients, you can create mouthwatering kabobs bursting with flavor that will impress your friends and family.
