Directions for Beef Shish Kabob

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vegetable oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Pour into a resealable plastic bag, add beef cubes, expel excess air, and seal. Marinate in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
  2. Marinate Additional Ingredients:
    • Add mushrooms to the beef in the marinade bag, reseal, and marinate for another 8 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Prepare for Grilling:
    • Preheat the grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate. Remove beef and mushrooms from the marinade, discarding excess liquid. Transfer remaining marinade to a saucepan, bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes to use as basting sauce.
  4. Assemble Skewers:
    • Thread beef, mushrooms, green and red bell peppers, and onion pieces alternately onto the skewers.
  5. Grill the Kabobs:
    • Place skewers on the hot grill, basting frequently with the prepared marinade. Grill for about 15 minutes, turning often, until beef is browned and vegetables are tender.
  6. Serve:
    • Enjoy hot off the grill, perfect for a family gathering or a casual outdoor feast.
