Beef Kabobs
On summer days when I want to spend time in the garden or have to work all day,
I take out a package of beef chuck and pop it frozen into a zip lock bag, pour in the marinade ingredients and let it work all day long.
What you need
- 1 lb. beef chuck meat, cut into fairly equal sized chunks
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup white or red wine
- 2 garlic cloves, squashed and peeled
- Bamboo skewers
How to make it
- Place beef into a ziplock bag
- Add Soy, Wine and Garlic
- Press out the air and seal the bag tightly
- Press the marinade all over the meat, breaking pieces apart if frozen
- Leave at room temperature for an hour, then refrigerate, or refrigerate immediately
- Marinate 8-10 hours if possible
- Prepare grill to medium hot and remove meat from refrigerator
- Soak skewers in water for about 30 minutes
- When coals are ready, make about 3-5 skewers of the beef cubes - don't pack too tightly
- Place skewers on a rack in a baking dish to allow excess marinade to drip off
- Place skewers directly over coals and cook turning with tongs every 2-3 minutes to char all sides
- You can test for doneness by pressing one of the larger cubes with your tongs
- If they need additional cooking time (not often) move off the coals to the side of the grill and cover for a couple of minutes until done to you liking
When I make this I usually also toss quartered onions and red bell peppers on the grill next to the meat skewers.
