Today, we are sharing an easy pistachio pesto beef skewers recipe you can bake, grill on your stove, or your barbeque. Because of that, it’s one you can enjoy all year long, not just in Summer.
Let’s make it together.
The best cuts of beef for skewers are those that are tender and can be easily cut into chunks for grilling. Some popular choices include sirloin, ribeye, tenderloin, or flank steak. These cuts are flavorful and tender, making them ideal for skewers.
To cook beef skewers, you can marinate the beef chunks in your desired marinade for added flavor. Then, thread the marinated beef onto skewers and grill them over medium-high heat, turning occasionally until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness. It’s important not to overcook the beef to keep it tender and juicy.
Beef skewers pair well with a variety of side dishes and accompaniments. Some popular options include grilled vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms, a refreshing salad, rice or couscous, but you can also try caponata, or roasted potatoes.
Yes, you can use beef stew meat for skewers. However, stew meat is typically tougher and may require longer cooking times to become tender. To ensure that the stew meat is tender on skewers, you may need to marinate it for a longer period of time or consider pre-cooking it slightly before threading it onto skewers for grilling.
