Notes:
Peppers and zucchini work well in this recipe because they cook at the same rate as the meat, but customize your kids’ kebabs with the veggies they like best.
Tip:
Dice, marinate and freeze beef up to a month ahead of time for quick on-site cooking. Metal skewers conduct heat (which means they help cook meat from the inside out) and don’t need soaking like bamboo skewers.
