SHRIMP AND STEAK KABOBS RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Pour half of the marinade into a shallow dish; add beef. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight, turning occasionally. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade., Drain and discard marinade from beef. On metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread beef, shrimp, mushrooms, green peppers, onions and tomatoes; set aside. In a small saucepan, combine cornstarch and reserved marinade until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes., Prepare grill for indirect heat, using a drip pan. Place kabobs over drip pan and grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 5 minutes. Turn and brush with thickened marinade. Cover and cook until shrimp turn pink and beef reaches desired doneness, 5-10 minutes turning and brushing occasionally.

Steps:

• In a 13x9-inch glass baking dish, blend soup mix, soy sauce, lemon juice, oil and honey; set aside. On skewers, alternately thread shrimp, steak, tomatoes, mushrooms and green pepper or zucchini.
• Add prepared skewers to baking dish and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator for 2-3 hours, turning skewers occasionally.
• Remove prepared skewers, reserving marinade. Grill or broil, turning and basting frequently with reserved marinade until shrimp turn pink and steak is done, approximately 6-8 minutes, checking meat often as it can overcook quickly. Do not brush with marinade during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
• NOTE: I usually saute the mushroom caps in a little butter very slightly --no more than 2 minutes-- at medium-low heat so they are a little softer and have a richer flavor when they come off the grill, but the recipe also tastes good without this step.).
