If you try only one new recipe this month, it needs to be this one! YUM! The steak cooks up to be deliciously charred on the outside while remaining moist on the inside. The meat tastes like something from a Mediterranean restaurant and makes you think the recipe has to be complicated. However, everything is quick and easy to prepare.
Make sure you read the recipe before beginning as you need to marinate the steak for 30 minutes after adding the seasonings and soak the bamboo skewers for 10 minutes before creating the kabobs. Other than that the recipe is very straightforward.
