Tonight, I got home a little after 19:30--a typical time for Bruno and I to get home on a weekday. I have a slight weakness, every now and then, for Real Simple magazine. And Cooks Illustrated. Mostly because I love the covers of both and because they always have good recipes and organization styles. If you aren't familiar, here are how their covers look:
Bruno's mom actually has a really sweet framed set of four back covers (Cooks Illustrated) that used to hang in their kitchen that I love, so I've been thinking about subscribing and saving them up.
But anyways...dinner tonight was kebabs! I stopped at Safeway for some of the pre-cubed beef (I think the label says something like "stewing cubes" or something like that). We already had onions and bell pepper, so it was just a matter of skewering and cooking them up really quick on our griddle-like pan.
It's pretty simple to whip this one up. Since the meat is already cubed, just heat your pan up with a bit of olive oil and soak a few kebab sticks in water while you wait. I like my meat on the rare side of medium rare, so I put the heat up. If you don't like your beef still mooing, make sure you stay on a medium-low or medium temperature and the cook time will take just a bit longer. As much as I love kebabs, we all know those veggies never cook at the same rate as the meat. Do yourself a favor and make a few sticks with meat and a few with veggies, that way you can control the even cooking of everything. I actually forgot to take pictures of our plates, but I have one of the leftover meat and veggies. Salt and pepper everything to taste and eat with your favorite BBQ sauce and a side (we had garlic naan, but potatoes or a Pastaroni type side would work well, too).
Here's a few shots:
And it's that easy! See you next time. :)
