Questions about Beef skewer
How do you keep beef skewers tender on the barbecue?
Cut the beef into evenly sized cubes and leave small gaps between them on the skewer so they cook evenly. Grill over a hot barbecue, turning regularly; for safety, the centre should reach 70°C for 2 minutes.
Should you soak wooden skewers before grilling beef?
Yes. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before threading on the beef to help stop them scorching; metal skewers do not need soaking.
How should you store leftover beef skewers?
Cool them and refrigerate within 1–2 hours, then eat within two days. Reheat only once, until steaming hot throughout.
What goes well with beef skewers?
For a barbecue, serve them with flatbreads, a crisp salad and yoghurt sauce, or with rice and grilled peppers and onions. Threading vegetables between the beef also makes an easy mixed grill.
Can you use lamb instead of beef on skewers?
Yes. Cubes of lamb leg work well with the same barbecue-style marinade and can be threaded with peppers and onions; cook until safely done throughout.
