Expert Tips

• Don’t Over-Cook It: You bought a great cut of meat, so serve it medium rare to medium. Kabobs cook quickly so don’t wander off and get distracted.
• Have your Grill Piping Hot. You want a nice char on the kabobs. It’s the caramelization on the steak that adds that great barbecue flavor. Be sure and start with a clean grill. You’ll know it’s time to turn the kabobs when they release easily from the grill.
• Season the Beef Generously: It may seem like you’re adding too much seasoning but you’ll lose some on the grill and this is your only seasoning.
•  Buy a Great Cut of Meat: When you serve steak kabob style you don’t need as much meat per person so get a better quality steak.
