Shish kebabs are a family meal at my house. Everyone loves them. I feel like there’s something about food on a stick that just screams party.
Dressing up an ordinary cheap cut of steak and marinating for a long time, makes it so flavorful and tender. If you don’t have time to marinate for longer time, you can use a more expensive cut of beef, ie ribeye steak. You can also make this recipe using chicken. A delicious and nutritious way to entertain your family on your next barbecue.
