Grilled Beef Strips Kebab

Grilling fresh meat and vegetables is interesting and fun. It's like barbeque but not really... cos I used a pan instead of a BBQ pit... but the smell is amazing. The texture is just nice - a little crisp on the outside, moist in the inside. Fresh and not oily at all.

Skewers makes it all more fun and easy to turn the whole thing - meat and veges around. Makes presentation a more... interesting. You can just marinate the beef with salt and pepper, or choose any sauce or flavour that you like, from BBQs, teriyaki, lemon & herbs, black pepper, tandoori, etc etc... Chicken, lamb or prawns works fantastic for grilling as well.

For my beef strips, I used what I had in my fridge, worchestershire sauce and a little bit of garlic oil I had left from browning some chopped garlic earlier. Frying garlic in oil not only smells good, but the oil itself is then richly flavoured with garlic, and can be used as a marinade for a lot of things!
:: Grilled Beef Strips Recipe ::
6 pieces of Skewers (bamboo or steel is fine)
about 200m Beef strips
1/2 Green capsicum, cut into 2cm squares
1 stick Celery, thinly cut
1/2 Green onion, cut to 2cm squares
1/2 Carrot, thinly cut

For beef stips marinade
salt & pepper
1 teaspoon garlic oil
2 tablespoons of Worchestershire sauce

1. Marinate the beef strips for about 10 minutes or more, and put aside. Cut and clean the greens and place aside.
2. Soak the bamboo skewers in water for 2 minutes and pat dry.
3. Start adding the beef strips and greens on the skewers, however you like it. Arrange the beef to be in between the onions and veges. Repeat with remaining beef strips and veges.
4. Heat up a grilling (or a normal non stick) pan, rub some oil on the surface.
5. Grill the kebabs about 5 minutes each side, on medium heat. As the beef and veges darken slightly, turn to the other sides to grill.

Serve hot, with some flavoured rice or pita bread. Add some of your favourite sauce to it and enjoy!
