Shish Kabob Marinade for Chicken and Steak
This Shish Kabob Marinade recipe prepares flavorful cubes of sirloin steak and chicken breast seasoned with a garlic, soy, Worcestershire, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and black pepper marinade. Vegetables like onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, pineapple, zucchini, and grape tomatoes are skewered and grilled alongside the marinated meat, creating a balanced mix of textures and smoky flavors. The marinade tenderizes and seasons the meat, while grilling adds charred depth.
