Cambridge: Here is one of the best Beef Kebabs recipes out there!
Here Is What Most People Don’t Know About Making Beef Kebabs:
- Marinate for Maximum Flavor: A good marinade with acid (like lemon juice or vinegar) helps tenderize the beef and infuse it with deep, savory flavors. Marinate for at least 1 hour or overnight for the best results.
- Cut Vegetables to Similar Sizes: Cutting vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini to a similar size as the beef ensures even cooking and a consistent texture in each bite.
- Soak Wooden Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Bald Buck Seasoning: For this dish, we replace our salt with Bald Buck Seasoning
Ingredients:

- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before assembling the kebabs to prevent burning.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Thread the marinated beef, bell peppers, onion wedges, and zucchini slices onto the skewers, alternating between meat and vegetables for a colorful presentation.
