Activity - Greek Kabobs

Marinade

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

  • 1/4 minced fresh parsley
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons chopped thyme and/or rosemary (if fresh herbs aren't available, use 1/2 teaspoon dried herbs)
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2-cup olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1-teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

LET'S GET STARTED:

Pour marinade ingredients into a large zipper-style plastic bag. Add 1 ½ pounds top sirloin beef or lamb cut into 1 ½-inch cubes. Marinate for 2 hours in the refrigerator.

Assembling the Kabobs

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

  • 1 large red onion peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 1 red, 1 green and 1 yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 2" chunks
  • 8-12 cherry tomatoes
  • 1 1/2 pounds marinated top sirloin beef or lamb cut into 1 1/2" cubes
  • 4-6 metal or wooden skewers   (soak wooden skewers in water for 1/2 hour before using to prevent burning)

LET'S GET STARTED:

  • Set out all of the ingredients in front of you.   Thread onion, vegetables and meat on skewers alternating as you go.   Leave a small space between each item.
  • Use cherry tomatoes as stoppers at each end.  
  • Place kabobs on hot grill for about 10 minutes, turning skewers occasionally.   Pierce meat to check the interior to be sure it is done.
  • Serve kabobs with pita bread and your favorite creamy dressing.
