Notes
- Place the wooden skewers in cold water for 10-30 minutes prior to using so that they don’t burn on the grill.
- While the recipe calls for bamboo/wooden skewers, you can also use stainless steel.
- While the recipe calls for stew meat, tenderloin or filet mignon are the best cuts but also the most expensive. A second mid price range cut would be porterhouse or rib eye.
- This recipe requires a lot of basil. Use this recipe when your basil plant is bursting during its peak. If you aren't growing basil at home, Trader Joe’s has large boxes of basil, which is what I used for this recipe. It comes to about 2 cups of leaves when they are tightly packed.
