Shish Kebabs with Beef Marinade

With barbecue season in full swing. Jay D's barbecue sauce is a welcome addition to barbecue season. This marinade will make the cheapest cuts tender. You will want to make a double batch of the sauce, as one batch was not enough to marinade and serve with the cooked kebabs

Shish Kebabs with Beef Marinade
by Nancy Follwell
Recipe adapted from my mom

1 pound steak cubes (I used top round)
1 yellow pepper, large chunks
1 yellow onion, large chunks
10 shish kebab skewers

Soak skewers in cold water while making the marinade (recipe follows). Drain the beef cubes from the marinade and alternate beef, peppers and onions on the skewers.. Before placing on the grill, baste both sides with more marinade. Grill kebabs until done to your liking. Serve kebabs with warmed Steak Marinade.

Steak Marinade

1/2 cup Jay D's Louisiana Barbecue Sauce
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons vinegar
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons oil

Make double batch of marinade. Add ingredients to a small pot and heat to boiling. Let cool to warm and pour over the meat (do not pour the boiling Steak Marinade over the beef or it will cook the meat).  Let rest for several hours, overnight is best. Drain meat and add remaining marinade to a small pot, heat and serve with the cooked kebabs.
