Kabobs

Tonight for dinner are kabobs.  Meat and vegetables grilled on a stick.  Preparation and execution of this cook is pretty strait forward.

Ingredients:
  • Steak Cubed 1.5" squares are perfect.  The steak I used is London broil, a cheap cut of meat but really tasty.
  • White onion
  • Mushrooms
  • Tomatoes, bigger than cherry tomatoes.
  • Green pepper
  • Steak seasoning of your choice.
  • bamboo skewers
Directions.
  1. Soak your bamboo skewers in water for around 30 minutes.  This prevents them from burning.
  2. Cut your meat into cubes.  You want them to all be the same size so they cook at the same rate.  Otherwise you will end up with rare-well done on the same skewer.
  3. Cut the onion and pepper to the same size as the steak.
  4. Start putting the meat and veggies on the skewers alternating between meat then a couple veggies and repeat.  Put the meat and veggies on in the same order on all skewers for a nice presentation.  As many great chefs say, "you eat with your eyes before you eat with your mouth".
  5. Put on olive oil and then sprinkle with steak seasoning.
  6. Place the skewers on direct heat.  Mine were on about 3-4 minutes and then flipped for another 3-4 minutes.

  7. Plate with rice or whatever side you want.
