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.
