Assemble the skewers:

  1. Thread the cubes of meat onto the skewers, alternating with vegetables if using.  

Grill:

  2. Place the kabobs on the grill, with the lid open for a few minutes to sear the meat, close the lid and cook for about 7 minutes on the first side. Open the grill, flip the kabobs, anc close the lid to continue cooking for an additional 5 to 7 mintues on the second side, until the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165F or the beef to 140-145F. Total cooking time will vary depending on the thicknes of the meat.
  3. Remove the kabobs from the grill on a tray and cover with foil to keep warm while you finish grilling.
