We started cooking together in the summer of 2015 and have planned and cooked a dinner every week since. Our recipes are often inspired by the New York Times’ cooking website but are adapted to fit Muncie availability and a college budget.
Kebabs are an awesome warm-weather food. We used steak, but these would be just as tasty with shrimp, chicken or even just vegetable!
Beef and vegetable kebabs
Ingredients:
- Top round steak
- Sweet onion
- Peppers (we used green and yellow)
- Low-sodium soy sauce
- Garlic
- Ginger root
- Bamboo skewers (soak in water before cooking so they don't burn)
Directions:
- Cut the steak into approximately 1-inch cubes and place into a large bowl.
- To the bowl, add the soy sauce (approximately 1/2 cup), garlic (2 minced cloves), and ginger root (1 tablespoon grated).
- Cut the onion and peppers into 1-inch squares. You'll need to peel the onion a little so that each layer is cut into the square.
- Assemble the skewers! Some chefs like to have skewers of all meat and others of all vegetable, but we prefer to alternate between beef, peppers and onion.
- Grill (or cook in our infamous 'really hot pan') for 4-5 minutes per side. This beef can get extremely chewy if overcooked, so make sure to test pieces as you cook.
- We served this with a cilantro/lime rice. It's excellent as a leftover.
