There’s something for everyone in this kabob with chicken, lamb, and sirloin steak. The versatile marinade brings out the best in each meat with Worchestershire sauce, rosemary, and lime juice.

Asian Beef Kabobs

This Asian-inspired kabob is as healthy as it is tasty, thanks to baby bok choy and sweet peppers. Red pepper flakes give the marinade a spicy kick, which contrasts deliciously with the sweetness of the corn and peppers.

Elegant and delicious, these kebabs will impress even the most discerning dinner guests. The filet stays moist and juicy when grilled and cooks surprisingly quickly. Cherry tomatoes, mushrooms and zucchini are perfect compliments to the richness of the beef.

Jalapeno Beef Kabobs

Spicy-sweet jalapeño pepper jelly kicks up the flavor of this Tex-Mex meal. Tangy tomatillos and pattypan squash are great alongside the beef, and the meal is complete served over warm polenta.

Steak and Potato Kabobs

There’s a reason steak and potatoes are an iconic dish; they’re always delicious together. This easy kabob brings out the best in both ingredients, thanks to the red-wine-flavored marinade.
