Anybody got a good marinate or technique for grilled beef kebabs? I've tried a few online recipes, and none came out with tasting like real Mediterranean kebabs. Any ideas?

A good antifreeze marinade, if you do it right it should only cause temporary partial paralyses Big smile

Mediterraneans use lamb, not beef.

Make up a marinade with lemon juice, olive oil, fresh thyme, paprika, pepper, maybe some rosemary, and definitely some minced garlic. Marinade for 24 hours or more. Grill over charcoal.

Here's a recipe I've used before. List of ingredients below, how to prep below that.

6 tablespoons plain whole-milk yogurt
5/8 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon plus 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
1 teaspoon Madras curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 large garlic clove, grated
1 pound boneless leg of lamb, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

Preparation:

1. Combine yogurt, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, and next 4 ingredients (through garlic); stir with a whisk. Place yogurt mixture in a large zip-top plastic bag. Add lamb; seal and marinate in refrigerator 45 minutes.
2. Prepare grill to medium heat.
3. Remove lamb from bag; discard marinade. Thread lamb evenly onto 8 (10-inch) skewers; sprinkle evenly with 3/8 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Place kebabs on a grill rack; grill 4 minutes for medium-rare or desired degree of doneness, turning once. Sprinkle evenly with remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt.

Enjoy!

Living in the kebab country, I'd say it's all in the spices

we use lamb AND beef, not only lamb
we sometimes even use chicken

also for a good kebab, DON'T mix yoghurt with anything. Yoghurt needs to be cold full fat cow yoghurt and should be put on kebab without mixing.

oh, and dried red pepper Pirate

I would definitely be taking what this guy say and adapting it to one of the recipe's above.

Remember that a variety of complimentary spices and meats will give the dish a much fuller, lush taste

There should be a rather awesome pic here

Strange, so many variations of recipes for kebab marinate. I guess every family, restaurant, and grandma has their own version. Excellent, arigato guys!

[And Surfin', I've heard that antifreeze is harmless to humans, but fatal to cats and dogs. Could be an urban myth-- was told to me by a guy considering how to handle the stray cats getting in his garbage cans.... Blink]
