Beef or Pork Kabobs With Variations

Submitted by Kittencalrecipezazz

"The marinade is what makes these kabobs so special see recipe#116996 This recipe makes a large amount but you may reduce the marinade and the meat by half. Plan ahead the meat needs to marinade for 8-24 hours (24 hours even better!) and the wooden skewers need to soak in cold water for 30 minutes before threading, and for the very best results the meat must be brought down to almost room temperature before threading, this will relax the meat fibers and create the most tender juiciest meat! This marinade is for beef or pork and is enough for up to 3 pounds meat, I make lots and then freeze the cubed meat after marinating to have ready in the freezer to grill."

A good, basic marinade, but a tad too sweet for our tastes. I marinated the pork 24 hours and placed the meat on separate skewers for even cooking. I also grilled onions, bell peppers, and we especially loved the corn on the cob skewers. What fun! Made for the Variety Event in the Contests and Events Forum.

Delicious sweet and savory marinade. I marinaded sirloin steak which I cut into cubes and marinated them for 8 hours. I used red bell pepper and gala apple. Funny thing is DH asked me what the apple was, as he couldn't figure it out by the look or taste of it. He is the kind of peep that has no idea as to what something is by taste alone. Made for the Variety is the Spice of Life 2014.

Cut this down for DH and I and used pork. This is a wonderful marinade and one I definately will use again. I marinated the meat for about 8 hours and used red/green bell peppers, zucchini and yellow squash, red onion, tomatoes and mushrooms. Made for the tag game Variety is the Spice of Life 2014. Thank you for posting.
