Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon garlic minced (about 2-3 cloves)
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley rinsed, dried, and chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 6 ounce top sirloin or other beef steak cubes 12 cubes
  • 6 ounce boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into ¾-inch cubes (12 cubes)
  • 1 large white onion cut into ¾-inch squares (12 pieces)
  • 12 cherry tomatoes rinsed
  • 1 4 oz red bell pepper, rinsed and cut into ¾-inch squares (12 squares)
  • 12 wooden or metal skewers each 6 inches long (if wood, soak them in warm water for 5–10 minutes to prevent burning)

Instructions

  • Preheat grill pan or oven broiler (with the rack 3 inches from heat source) on high temperature.
  • Combine ingredients for marinade, and divide between two bowls (one bowl to marinate the raw meat and one bowl for cooking and serving).
  • Mix the beef, chicken, onion, tomatoes, and red pepper cubes in one bowl of the marinade and let sit.  After 5 minutes, discard remaining marinade.
  • Place one piece of beef, chicken, tomato, onion, and red pepper on each of the 12 skewers.
  • Grill or broil on each of the four sides for 2–3 minutes or until completely cooked (to a minimum internal temperature of 145 °F for beef and 165 °F for chicken).  Spoon most of the second half of the marinade over the kebabs while cooking.
  • Serve three skewers per serving.  Drizzle the remaining marinade on top of each kebab before serving (use only the marinade that did not touch the raw meat or chicken).
  • Tip:Delicious served over orzo pasta or rice with a side of Asparagus With Lemon Sauce
