Kebobs

They were killer on the tastebuds! Especially since the succulent savory beef combined so well with the sweet pieces of vegetables.

You would need a variety of non-break-apartable vegetables, like what I used. You really want the vegetables to be the star of the show, especially for college students who don't get enough veggies in their diet! This works as well for parents of children who rarely eat veggies. Eating them off a stick would provide some fun! However for this, make the pieces smaller and more children bite size friendly.

Bell peppers, green yellow and red for variety and if you have a little more money to spend
Squash and zucchini
Yellow onions or red, depending on what you have
Eggplant, Chinese, Japanese or American it doesn't matter
Carrots if you would like
Artichokes are good too
Bamboo shoots if you like the taste
You can also put skewarable fruit like pear and apples ... mmm or pineapple!~

For the meat part you can either put lamb pieces or chicken cubes of breast and thigh, but I really much prefer beef. For beef I tend to pick up the packs that say "roast" because these are the parts of the beef that can take high heats for extended periods of time. Remember, you want the vegetables to cook through, and a meat that cooks fast and loses all its juices relatively early is not going to make a great kebab. Cut up the roast into cubes, and marinate in a mix of 2 tbsp Worchestershire sauce, 1 tsp olive oil, a pinch of pepper. A splash of hickory smoke (obtainable from the marinade section of your grocery store) adds a wonderful smoke taste but is optional.

I clean and cut the vegetables into half inch pieces, then toss them all with some olive oil and dried oregano (about 1 tsp per 4 skewers). Skewer your vegetables and meat, for households with children or an adult (like mine) who don't eat vegetables, place the meat in the middle areas of the skewer, making it difficult to just eat the meat and leave the vegetables. Trust me, working for the meat makes the food taste a whole lot better!

Set your oven to 360 deg. and place your skewers on a rack that exposes most of the kebabs to some heat. Then cook for 30 minutes depending on the size of your beef cubes. When your vegetables start to shrivel or blacken, it is about time to take it out. Enjoy.
