Steak Kabobs

My hubby and I decided we would try making steak shish kabobs this past weekend. They turned out really well, we were both impressed.

We used:

2 Top Sirloin Steak Strips 6oz, cut into cubes

1 Tsp of Rosemary

1 Tsp of Celery Salt

1 Tsp of Oregano

1 Tsp of Sweet Basil

1 Yellow Squash, sliced

1 Apple, Sliced

2 Celery Stalks, sliced

1 Banana Pepper, sliced

These would be really good with Green Peppers, if you make them, add that too. I will also be adding some pineapple next time. This was our first time ever making these, so they were good considering we were newbies to this!

We found the skewer sticks at the local grocery store.

After preparing the meat and veggies, we started putting our kabobs together. We basically just went in a veggie and meat pattern. We were able to make 8 kabobs with these ingredients above. Use more or less spices depending on your preference. I have learned that you can pretty much use the spices you have on hand and most meals will come out tasting yummy. Once we had the kabobs prepared, we put them on the grill for 20 minutes and they were ready to eat!

We had extra veggies that we did not use for the kabobs. We put the same spices we used for the kabobs along with 1/2 Tbsp of olive oil and wrapped them in foil. We put this on the grill too and it was delicious! I fixed 2 cups of whole grain minute rice and dinner was served.

We did overcook the veggies that were on the kabobs because they cooked so much faster than the meat. They were still good though, just crispy!

For my son, I gave him some chicken we had in the fridge, and then he had veggies with rice. The steak was tender enough that it was very easy to chew, so we gave him some bits of it. My son thought it was pretty tasty!

This was a great summer recipe, and the good thing about shish kabobs is you can basically do anything with them and they turn out good. I have seen chicken and sausage kabobs as well and the variety of veggies to use is endless!

Go start grilling!
