Burgundy wine Beef Kabobs that will Pop Your Cork

great beef kabob recipeNot keen on dryed out old beef kabobs? Me neither. Main trick to make sure you're not eating boot leather next time is to grill them at least 500F and take them off no later then 135F internal temp (you do have an instant read thermometer, right?) Remove then about 135F and you've got medium which should please the majority of people. The other feature of this recipe is the deep rich flavors of the burgundy wine marinade blend. Nice smooth subtle flavors that work perfectly with the red onion and green pepper. This is definitely a step above the plain jane beef kabob's you'll buy in the grocery store butcher shop. I also tried my new FireWire flexible wire shish kabob skewers - nice.
