Tips for Success:
- Marinating Time: Allowing the beef to marinate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, will result in incredibly tender and flavorful kabobs.
- Skewering Technique: To prevent the vegetables from burning before the beef is cooked through, alternate pieces of beef and vegetables on the skewers.
- Basting: Basting the kabobs with the reserved marinade during grilling helps to keep them moist and adds extra flavour.
- Don't Overcrowd the Grill: Leave enough space between the skewers to allow for even cooking.
- Temperature Control: Maintain medium-high heat on your grill for consistent cooking, and use a meat thermometer to ensure the beef reaches an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
