Tips for Grilling Kabobs
- Cut your meat into bite- sized pieces and your vegetables into large chunks so that they are done at the same time.
- Cook over indirect heat to keep the vegetables from burning.
- Use a digital meat thermometer to cook the meat exactly how you like it.
- I like these 2 prong skewers to make the kabobs easier to cook and handle.
How to Store and Reheat Kabobs
Remove meat and vegetables from skewers and store in a zip top bag or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place meat and vegetables in a skillet with 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil. Cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes or until heated through.
