The Best Shish Kabab Recipe

This is the BEST Shish Kabab recipe for special occasions.  Abrev’d as “Shisk” at our house, it has been a staple of special occasions in my Mother-in-Law’s family for decades.

Recipe

Kebab Ingredients

  • Meat: 4-5lb Tenderloin or Sirloin. More than enough for 6-10 depending on how big of eaters you’re feeding. We’re big eaters, so we go big.
  • Mushroom caps (white or brown).
  • 1 pkg Cherry tomatoes
  • 2-3 cans whole potatoes
  • 2 bell peppers cut into pieces
  • 1 can/jar onion pearls
  • Skewers – I like the metal ones, more sturdy to better hold weight vs wood.

Marinade Ingredients

  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup rede wine vingar
  • ¼ cup red wine
  • 1 tsp dry mustard
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp parsley flakes
  • 1 tbsp. lemon juice

How to:

  1. Mix marinade ingredients in blender.
  2. Cube beef and pour marinade over. Save 1/3 of marinade for vegetables.
  3. Marinate beef in fridge 8 hours or overnight.
  4. Cut vegetables and marinate 4 hours using saved marinade.
  5. Put meat and vegetables on large skewers, brush with marinade.
  6. Grill on high heat 10-15 minutes. Turn frequently & brush with remaining marinade. Note – adjust time depending on desired doneness. If like your meat more rare, opt for less time.

Quick tips to go Full Dad Mode for success:

  1. Buy pre-trimmed tenderloin. Trimming yourself is a pain.
  2. Separate beef & veg on separate skewers because veg cooks faster.
  3. Marinate everything. If you skip marinating the veg they have no taste.
