Beef Kabobs Marinated in Sweet and Tangy BBQ Sauce

My family has voted this sweet and tangy BBQ sauce as the best homemade barbecue sauce ever. In addition to these kabobs, it can be used for basting chicken, roasts, anything you put on the barbecue grill, and even grilled veggies.

Directions

Prepare the Kabobs

  1. Alternately thread meat chunks, mushrooms, peppers, and pearl onions on skewers.

  2. Arrange beef kabobs in a 9×13-inch (23×33-cm) pan. Pour half of barbecue sauce (see recipe below), approximately one cup, over kabobs, turning occasionally, and toss to coat.

  3. Place kabobs on grill over medium temperature. Cook about 10 minutes, turning occasionally and basting often with reserved sauce.

Notes:

Leave some space between each item on the skewer, so the food can cook evenly.

Description:

Before beginning, soak 12 wooden skewers in water for at least an hour. Soaking them before grilling prevents the skewers from catching fire.

Notes:

Good for two weeks, refrigerated.
