This flavorful steak marinade comes together easily and works perfect on lots of different cuts of meat.
Shiskabob is a favorite summer grilling dinner idea and it’s fun!  I think eating anything on a stick is just more fun.  Today I’ve got a couple of tips and tricks to help in your shiskabob making efforts!
I like to marinate the meat I am using first. Â One of the advantages of marinating meat is that you can use a less expensive cut of meat. Â The marinating helps to tenderize the meat. Â Top sirloin or flat iron are two of my favorite cuts of meat for making shiskabob. Â I like to give it at least 4 hours to marinate and up to 24 hours. Â If it’s going to be longer than that, Â I usually throw it into the freezer in the marinade. Â Thaw it when I ready to use it and it’s ready to go.
Another tip for shiskabob making is to soak your bamboo skewers in water first. Â This helps prevent them from catching on fire on the grill!
My last tip is to cook your meat and veggies seperately. Â Yes, it might look prettier to have both meat and veggies on the same skewer but you will end up with better results if you seperate them out!
I make up kebobs of just meat and then kebobs of just veggies. Â The veggies always cook faster than the meat and when you combine the two you end up with either raw meat and cooked veggies or burned veggies and cooked meat! Â So much easier to cook them seperately!
So fire up that grill and make yourself some kebobs!
