Kebab-1-2

 

Its grilling season and I’ve been doing a lot of grilling lately, so much so that I recently purchased a stovetop grill and I’m looking to purchase a table top charcoal grill.  A bit much I know, but a small charcoal grill comes in handy when grilling small amounts of food.  It’s all about convenience and ease.

To christen my new stovetop grill, I prepared beef kebabs with a simple marinade that’s readily available in any pantry.  If beef isn’t your thing, you can substitute any other type of meat such as pork or chicken.   I used rib eye steak which was very tender even when cooked all the way through, it was juicy with a slightly sweet and savory flavor.   It’s the perfect recipe for summer entertaining; quick and simple yet impressive.
