Spicerack Marinade Recipe LogoSpicerack Lemon Saffron Chicken and Fish Marinade

 

Shish Kabob (Beef or Lamb)

 

Serves:  6-8

Prep Time:  15-20 minutes

Marinade Time:  four hour up to two days

Cooking Time:  10-15 minutes

 

Ingredients:

 

2 pounds Boneless Lamb (Leg or Shoulder) cubed (1 - 1 ½ inches long) or Tender Cubes of Sirloin Steak.  Lamb Loin or Beef Loin could be other options; they are very tender and you do not have to marinade for long.

16 baby onions halved, 8 tomatoes halved, 8 - 16 ounces button mushrooms, 2 green (or yellow) bell pepper seeded and cut into squares

½ bottle of the Spicerack Marinade

2 tablespoon melted butter (for basting)

 

  1. Cut the meat into 1 to1 ½ inches cubes.  Rinse them under cold water and blot dry.
  2. Place the meat in a shallow dish and pour Spicerack Marinade over the meat (lamb or beef) cubes.  Make sure to coat the meat with the marinade all over and evenly.  Cover and refrigerate the meat for several hours or better over night. 
  3. When ready to cook, thread the cubes of lamb or steak on to skewers, with pieces of onions, green or yellow bell peppers, and mushrooms in between.  Thread the tomatoes on to separate skewers.  It is recommended to let the meat sit in room temperature at least ½ an hour before grilling.
  4. Set up the Grill for direct grilling. 

For Gas Grills:  preheat to high heat (450 – 650 degrees Fahrenheit). 

For Charcoal Grills:  start your fire about 20 – 30 minutes ahead till the coals are bright orange with a light layer of ash.

For Broiler:  If you prefer, you could use the Broiler instead of the Grill.  Your oven broiler could function as an indoor grill.  Arrange your kabob skewers on a broiling pan, and cook under hot broiler (5 – 6 inches below the flame) for 10 – 12 minutes turning occasionally.

  1. Brush and oil grill grate or add a bit more oil (olive or vegetable oil) to the meat.  Grill the Kabobs 8 – 12 minutes for medium rare (4 – 6 minutes on each side).  Toward the end baste with butter.
  2. Remove the kabobs from skewers and serve them on a platter with rice, fresh herbs, bread, or salad.

 

 

Enjoy…
