Mom's Beef Shish Kabobs
mnmike
"My Mom has cooked this recipe for as long as I remember. Now that I live on my own, I can't wait to go back home over the holidays to have this excellent dish. Mom would probably be upset that I gave it away, but it is so delicious that I think everyone should have a chance to experience it. Technically shish kabobs use lamb, so these should be called beef kabobs, but this is the family recipe and what we call it."

It was ok but I'm sure my (not so great) cooking had a lot to do with it. My meat manager suggested using a sirloin steak that was on sale. That cut wasn't hearty enough. Can anyone suggest the...

Our first time making kabobs. We marinated the meat (but not the mushrooms) in a vacuum-seal bag for 2 hours and ditched the leftover marinade rather than saving for basting. Turned out great!

The only change I made was to leave out the mushrooms since my family doesn't like them. We marinated the meat a total of 8 hours and served over a bed of wild rice. My eight year old had secon...

I did everything I could to mess this up and they still tasted great. I only had 4 hours to marinate so I went with that. Then it started raining and I didn't grill. I ended up putting the veggi...

There is a mistake that most people do, the shish kabob are no the one in the photo. Actually the shish is the thing that we use to grill meat (the wooden stick inthe picture). The kabobs, in ar...
