Beef Kabobs

A simple and fun recipe that takes just a few minutes to prepare. Let everyone in the family make their own with the vegetables they like and will eat.

To add variety to this recipe, try different spices and flavors to add a different flair. Look at the vegetables that are in-season at your local grocery store. Purchasing in-season fruits and vegetables can be done at a cost savings to you and adds variety to your diet.

This recipe is loaded with protein from the beef, but remember you can substitute the beef for chicken, pork, or make vegetable kabobs. Remember to add a whole grain as a side dish to get the added benefits of whole grains in your diet.

Food Safety Tips for Marinating:
Marinated food should be refrigerated, not left out on the counter to marinate. Poultry and cubed meat (such as what is in today's recipe), or stew meat can be marinated for up to 2 days. Beef, veal, pork, and lamb roasts, chops, and steaks may be marinated up to 5 days.

If some of the marinade is to be used as sauce on the cooked food, reserve a portion of the marinade before putting raw meat into it.

Have fun with this recipe because there are loads of ways you can make it yours.
