Steak Kabobs
I love these steak skewers with avocado sauce. They are slightly spicy, but the cool flavor of the avocado sauce balances it out nicely. Remember to let your bamboo/wooden skewers soak for at LEAST 30 minutes before threading the beef on.
Best Vegetables to Add
When it comes to grilling, there are plenty of veggies you can throw on the barbecue to really enhance the flavor of the meat. Peppers, whether red, yellow, orange or green, add delightful color to the Steak Kabob. You can use all three if you like because each bell pepper has such unique flavor. Since a lot of grilling takes place in summer, don’t forget about those delicious summer squash and zucchini. Slice them into circles or elongated strips, either way they work well on a skewer stick. Onions, mushrooms, chunks of corn on the cob, pieces of asparagus, you can try pretty much anything on a Steak Kabob.
