In English, kebab with no qualification generally refers more specifically to shish kebab served on the skewer or döner kebab served wrapped in bread with a salad and a dressing.[2] In the Middle East, however, kebab includes grilled, roasted, and stewed dishes of large or small cuts of meat, or even ground meat; it may be served on plates, in sandwiches, or in bowls. The traditional meat for kebab is lamb, but depending on local tastes and taboos, it may now be beef, goat, chicken, pork; fish and seafood; or even vegetarian foods like falafel or tofu. Like other ethnic foods brought by travellers, the kebab has become part of everyday cuisine in many countries around the globe.

Thank you for showing me how easy it was to make steak kabob. I always worry when cooking steak! But the filet mignon trick was great so I had to only cook it for a couple of minutes because it was so tender and juicy! :)

just seeing if anyone else out there has tried chuck trimmed cubed with Salamida Original State Fair Spiedie Sauce and Marinade. I throw them in a freezer bag with the sauce for 2 days in the coldest part of the fridge. It's my favorite way to eat Venison too! In upstate NY, some of us call shish kabob's Speedies because that's our favorite!

I agree, if you like your meat cooked well done then it definitely needs more fat, I would recommend a sirloin definitely
