  • 1/2 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp. hot sauce, such as Cholula®

SHISH KEBABS

  • Place cubed beef in a large re-sealable plastic bag and pour marinade over. Close the bag and massage the meat with marinade until well coated.
  • Transfer to the refrigerator for no more than 2 hours
  • Skewer the protein and veggies, starting with mushroom, red pepper, red onion, tomato, beef then red pepper, red onion, tomato, beef; repeat with mushroom and so on.
  • Brush the vegetables with the remaining marinade; discard the rest
  • Preheat the barbecue to 550-600ºF.
