No sugar, no harsh vinegar. That&#8217;s exactly why the beef can sit in it for three hours without the texture going soft on you. One hour if you&#8217;re rushed, three hours is perfect. The rest happens on the grill: big cubes, red onion, red pepper, the lid down, and half the marinade set aside clean for basting. Nothing complicated, which is the whole point.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udd31 Two metal skewers side by side, my favourite move<\/h3>\n<p>I build my kabobs on two parallel metal skewers. Each cube goes onto both rods at once. When you turn the kabob, the meat turns with it instead of spinning around and showing you the same seared face twice. It sounds like nothing. It&#8217;s the difference between a cook you control and a cook you put up with.<\/p>\n<p>Wooden skewers work the same way, but soak them in water for a good half hour first. Otherwise they burn before the beef does.<\/p>\n<h3>\ud83d\udd25 Striploin first, top sirloin second<\/h3>\n<p>My number one is striploin. The marbling is right, the meat holds up over the fire, and the flavour is legendary. Thick-cut top sirloin does the job too, and costs less. Ribeye works, though to my taste it&#8217;s a bit fatty for a kabob. What I never buy: the pre-packed &#8220;kabob cubes&#8221; at the supermarket, usually trim, bland no matter what you soak them in. Ask your butcher for 1 to 1.5 inch (2.5 to 4 cm) cubes, or grab a thick piece and cut it yourself. Serve it all with an <a href=\"https:\/\/lecoupdegrace.ca\/en\/recipe\/orzo-salad-with-bocconcini-cheese-pesto-and-garden-veggies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">orzo salad with bocconcini and pesto<\/a> and some <a href=\"https:\/\/lecoupdegrace.ca\/en\/recipe\/grilled-barbecue-potatoes-with-lemon-garlic-butter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">grilled barbecue potatoes with lemon garlic butter<\/a>, and you look like the grill master without having tried that hard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83e\udd69 BBQ marinated beef kabobs, seared outside and pink inside The marinade does the heavy lifting here, and mine is plain: olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, green onions, a splash of red wine, Worcestershire sauce and Italian herbs.
