Plan Z Phase: This is a Z2 (ZReduction) recipe. I finally looked it up. The piece says in North America we are supposed to use “kabob” because we want to spell it the way it sounds. In other countries, they use “kebab.” On the Plan Z site, I have named them kebabs each time, so I thought I’d stick with that spelling.

Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:

• One batch of Insanely Good Marinade
• Up to 8 oz per person of steak. I use tenderloin but any red meat allowed in Z2 can work. Cut into cubes about 1 inch or 1-1/2 inches across.
• 2 large onions cut into wedges. Red, white, yellow, or even pearl onions can work.
• 4 cups of other veggies of your choice allowed on Plan Z. Ideas: Bell peppers of any color, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, green beans, okra, artichokes, bok choy, eggplant, fennel, pea pods, hot peppers, tomatillo. You get the idea. This marinade does not taste specifically Asian. It’s just good. So you can go with an Italian-themed kebab or Asian or even just good ol’ American depending on what veggies you choose. Cut any larger veggies into bite-sized chunks.

Instructions:

Put the marinade in a large ziplock baggie. Add the meat. Marinate for up to 4 hours in the refrigerator. The more tender the meat the less marinating time you need. I’ve done as little as 15 minutes. (If you are using wooden skewers make sure they have been soaked about 30 minutes in water so they don’t burn.)

Now thread your meat and veggies in any order onto your skewers. Toss out the marinade in the baggie.

Grill or bake until the meat is done to your liking. For the grill, they will take less time. For baking, you’ll set your oven to 350 degrees and bake about 30 minutes for a slightly pink center to the meat. You can always check them sooner.

When they are done to your liking you are ready to serve. Depending on how you cut your veggies and arranged them on the skewers you might be having more than one kebab. Your meal on sticks!

Enjoy!

Cheers,
