Beef Kebab with Zucchini

When summer rolls around and the culinary trends head to cooking outdoors, beef kebab with zucchini is a delicious choice for the grill. This recipe is especially good for those who wish to break from the typical burgers and hot dogs on the grill.

A kebab may also be known as a kabob, kabab, kebap, kibob, kebhav, and kephav. The variations in spelling depend on where you might find the word and from which language it is translated. Generally, a kebab refers to meat dishes that are prepared in Africa, the Middle East, Greece, central Asia, and south Asia. The meat, usually lamb or beef, is grilled or broiled on a stick or skewer. In some countries, the lamb and beef are cooked on a rotating spit. Kebabs are traditionally served with grilled vegetables, like onions, but hot rice and flat bread can also accompany a typical kebab meal.

• 1 3/4 pounds of beef tenderloin roast, trimmed
• 2 tablespoons of soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
• 6 rounds of red onion, sliced 1/4 inch round
• 2 teaspoons of olive oil
• 3 medium zucchini, sliced 1/4 inch thick lengthwise
• 6 bamboo skewers, at least 8 inches long

Kebabs are enjoyed by all ages.

1. Before you begin to cook, soak the bamboo skewers in water.
2. Cut beef into 24 one-inch cubes.
3. In a bowl, stir together the soy sauce, lime juice, salt, and cumin.
4. Add beef and coat well.
5. Marinate beef, covered, at room temperature one hour.
6. Lightly brush onion rounds with oil.
7. Season with salt and pepper.
8. Grill onion on a greased rack set six inches over the simmering coals.
9. Turn once with a metal spatula when lightly charred and tender.
10. Place on a plate.
11. Place the zucchini on the grill.
12. Remove when lightly charred, about one minute on each side.
13. Place on plate.
14. Take beef from marinade and pat dry.
15. Toss with a little oil.
16. Thread four pieces of beef onto each skewer.
17. Grill for about five minutes.
18. These will be medium-rare.

Serve these juicy kebabs with the onion and zucchini or create a side dish of mushrooms, olives, and tomatoes and offer it with the beef, too.

If you wish to use metal skewers, they do not have to be soaked.

Add one or more of the following ingredients to the grill and serve with the kebabs:

• 12 cherry tomatoes
• Slices of red pepper
• Slices of green pepper
• Chunks of eggplant
• Bite-size pieces of fresh pineapple
