A quick Mediterranean-inspired marinade escalates these steak skewers to new home cook heights. Since the ingredients used are fresh and non-processed, this recipe is naturally dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, and generally food allergy-friendly.
In addition to sharing this steak skewers recipe and image, Omaha steaks has 10 tips for perfect grilling:
- Clean and preheat your grill on high.
- Lightly oil everything before putting it on the grill. This helps the searing process and prevents sticking.
- Season food before grilling.
- Sear the outside of steaks when grilling; this helps with the flavor and juiciness.
- Use tongs or a spatula to turn meat on the grill; a fork can damage the meat.
- Cover your grill as much as possible during the grilling process to lock in the grilled flavor and help prevent flame flare-ups.
- Keep a spray bottle with water handy to douse any unexpected flare-ups.
- Use the 60/40 grilling method to ensure even cooking. Grill for 60 percent of the time on the first side, then grill 40 percent of the time after turning over the food.
- Place cooked food on a clean plate. Never place cooked food on the plate you used to transport the raw food to the grill without thoroughly washing it first.
- Allow foods to “rest” for 5 minutes between cooking and eating. This will help them retain moisture when you cut into them.
