One of the most memorable items from my years working the grill at Mr. Steak, were the beef kebabs. With the restaurant chain now defunct for well over 2 decades, it is difficult to find those old recipes anywhere, but this is how I remembered it.
Grilled Beef Kebabs
Ingredients
- 1½ lbs beef tenderloin or boneless top sirloin cut into 1¼ to 1½ inch cubes
- 2 large red and/or yellow onions
- 2 large bell peppers
- 2 16oz bottles Wishbone ® Russian dressing
- 4 ozs Lea & Perrins ® Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Lawry’s ® seasoned salt
- 4 stainless steel kebab skewers
Preparation
-
In a large bowl, combine the dressing, Worcestershire, black pepper and seasoned salt, and blend thoroughly.
-
Cut the onions and bell peppers into large square pieces, cutting off the ends first.
-
Create the kebabs by skewering 1 piece of meat, then 1 piece of onion, 1 piece of meat and 1 piece of bell pepper, and so on, until each kebab has 5 brochettes of beef with alternating sections of onion and bell pepper.
-
Lay the assembled kebabs in a rectangular casserole dish and pour the marinade on top, smothering the kebabs. Cover tightly with saran wrap and allow to marinate for at least 24 hours – the longer the better, but no longer than 4 to 5 days.
-
Remove the kebabs from the marinade and place upon a searing hot grill.
-
Allow the outside of the meat to char some before turning 1 quarter using tongs and a heavy spatula. Continue grilling, rotating the kebab by quarter turns, until reaching the desired degree of doneness.
-
Remove from the grill and serve immediately on a bed of brown rice with a scoop of sauteed mushrooms on the side.
Wow, I thought it was totally something different. But I never made it, I was a waitress. But I thought it had red wine, and tomato sauce. But I will try your recipe. I met my husband there back in 1977 he was a cook. Unfortunately he can’t remember how it was made. I wish they would bring back there recipes. I loved, loved, their meats. Like the fingerlength, and the one with the mushrooms and cheese inside. I think it was called the continental. Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
I remember when the restaurant aired a national TV commercial, one of our team brought in a portable black & white so we could all gather around and watch it. It was pretty humorous!
Thanks for your input, and sorry it took so long to respond! Actually, I thought I did respond quite awhile ago. Oh well, thnx again!
P.S. I hope your kebabs turned out as expected!
Thanks again
