How to Make Bbq Caribbean Beef Kabobs
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon Caribbean jerk seasoning, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place 1.5 lbs of cubed beef (1-inch cubes) in a resealable zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are coated.
- Marinate in the refrigerator for 8-24 hours, turning the bag occasionally.
- **Before adding chicken (optional):** Remove about 1/2 cup of marinade and set aside for basting. Discard marinade used on chicken.
- Thread marinated beef cubes onto skewers.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grates.
- Place skewers on the preheated grill. Baste occasionally with the reserved marinade (or use a different basting sauce for chicken).
- Grill for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is browned on the outside and reaches your desired internal temperature (145°F for medium).
- Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve immediately with grilled vegetables and BBQ potatoes.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
