Beef Kebabs - A First

in EggHead Forum
I was given some Wagyu beef kebabs a while ago and they were just hanging out in the freezer.  I was thinking about grinding them up but then thought about how I don't make kebabs very often.  I then realized that I've never cooked beef kebabs, Wagyu or otherwise.









These dry aged, fatty nuggets of beef gold were marinated in a blend of coconut aminos, worcestershire sauce, fish sauce, and fermented black garlic paste overnight.   A red onion and bell peppers were diced and marinated at room temperature for an hour prior to being threaded on soaked wooden skewers.











Once the Egg got up to temp, on the skewers went.  Rain be damned.











Koshihikari rice was cooked as a side.









Dinner was served.











Smoky, succulent and savory.  Sometimes simplicity is best.

    Are you a professional chef/cook?!  Those look leaps and bounds better than the kebobs I make lol

    What temp did you cook them at and for how long?

    Outstanding. The marinade sounds delicious.

    Not only do those rock, even the presentation makes me agree you are more than a backyard griller like most of us here. Please don’t stop sharing your advice!

    No joke.  Although I did need to google fermented black garlic paste.

    You must have a hell of a freezer for something like that to just be hanging out. 
    Nah, just a side-by-side fridge/freezer.  What I have is an inability to organize my freezer effectively.  Out of sight, out of mind.  So when I need something from way in the back, I end up finding cool things.  Like foodie Christmas.  Found a dry aged round roast, a whole dry aged bavette (3lb) and a Wagyu skirt steak.

    Not a professional, just a foodie.  The cooking temp ranged from 350-400F and they were on the grill between 8-10 minutes.

    Great cook and documentation, as always.  Was there a doubt, first kebobs or more...???  Magazine quality photos as well.
    Glad you subscribe to cooking the meat and veggies separately.  Best way I have found to nail the cook.
    You have some great friends...

    I always cook them separately.  Good move, looks fantastic as usual.

    Agree with @nolaegghead that it was eminently wise to separate the meat from the veg, for better treatment of each.

    Do you have two grates stacked on top of one another? Kinda looks that way.

    I'm using the CGS AR setup with grates on the lowest two levels.  The kabobs are on the top-most level.  The camera angle just makes it look like they are stacked.

    Thanks. I had contemplated this possibility, but thought they looked too close in the photo.

    Simply mouth watering.  Nicely done.
    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.

    Thanks.  Kabobs are commonly cut from the sirloin, so that would be my guess.

    those are some great looking skewers.  the butcher shops here have gotten pretty competitive here. they will match different cuts like flank for southwester kabobs. i see flank, sirloin, flap, even tritip etc in the kabob displays

    Speaking of double grating, I like to do that with a smaller grate on top when making pulled pork. Makes it easier to harvest the bottom stuck-on goodness indoor at the table. No fighting with hot grate and no risk of dropping the nuggets into hot grease pan below  =)
