Lamb or Beef Kebabs
For the marinade: For
the kebabs:
1 tbs. fresh lemon
juice 2 large
boneless lamb steaks or beef rump roast,
A large pinch of dried
oregano each weighing about 6 oz.
4 tbs. olive oil 1
red onion
1 clove of garlic,
crushed 2
zucchini
A pinch of salt &
of ground black pepper 1 red pepper
8 kebab or satay
sticks (if you’re using wooden sticks,
soak them in a dish of water to keep them
from burning on the grill)
1. For the marinade, put the
lemon juice, oregano, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper into a large
bowl. Stir everything well.
2. Carefully trim the fat off
the lamb or beef. Then, cut the meat
into ¾ inch cubes. Mix the cubes. Mix the cubes into the marinade.
3. Cover the bowl with plastic foodwrap and put it in the refrigerator for at least an
hour. Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
4. Peel the onion and cut it
into quarters. Then, cut across each
quarter. Separate each chunk into double
slices.
5. Cut the ends off the
pepper. Remove the seeds and cut it into
¾ inch squares. Then, cut the zucchini
into thick slices.
6. Carefully push one cube of
meat onto each kebab or satay stick. Be
careful of the sharp end of the sticks.
7. Push all the vegetables and
pieces of meat onto the sticks. Then,
heat the grill or broiler to medium heat, for 5 minutes.
8. Put the kebabs onto the rack
in a grill pan. Brush them with some
marinade, then grill them for 10 minutes.
9. Turn the kebabs over. Spoon the rest of the marinade over
them. Grill them for 5-10 minutes, or
until they are browned. Be careful-the
grill pan will be very hot.
Take the vegetables and pieces
of lamb or beef off the sticks, then serve with pita
bread and lettuce.
