Instructions
Creating the Amazing Shish Kabob Recipe can be straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
2. Marinate the Meat: Place the cubed chicken and beef into the marinade. Ensure the pieces are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to an hour.
3. Prepare Vegetables: While the meat marinates, chop the vegetables into uniform pieces to ensure even grilling.
4. Soak Skewers (if wooden): If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
5. Assemble Kabobs: After marinating, thread the meats and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between meat and veggies for an appealing look.
6. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
7. Grill Kabobs: Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
8. Check for Doneness: For chicken, ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), and for beef, aim for at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.
9. Remove from Grill: Once done, carefully remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. Serve: Enjoy the kabobs as they are or squeeze a fresh lemon juice over the top for an extra zing!
