Beef Kebabs and Vegetables

One of my most favorite summer dishes this year - I found this marinade randomly - by just searching for the things I actually already had in my pantry and it is the best marinade. No joke! Now the real tip for this meal is do not skimp on your meat! The beef needs to be a higher quality roast cut since this is the star of your meal. You are marinating the beef in order to have some wonderful flavor but you want the beef to melt in your mouth!

Marinade

You will want to cube your meat and place them in a ziploc (or other baggy) with the marinade and leave for 3+ hours. Remember to flip the baggy to ensure all the cubes are covered!
  • 1 envelop dry onion mix
  • 1/2 cup ketchup
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup vinegar (I used red wine but white would work)
  • 1-2 tablespoons mustard (dijon would work best but I recommend any mustard that has a similar profile - so horseradish mustard would be a no go lol)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Salt, if desired. I find the onion mix is incredibly salty so I don't add any additional salt.
Grill your meat for 3-5 minutes per side (medium heat on my grill) for medium rare to medium center.

Vegetables

Chop up your vegetables as even as possible, with flat edges if possible so they will sit flat against the grill. Toss in a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle salt or seasoned salt (like Lowry's). Grill until soft with nice char marks!

Enjoy :)
