Şiş Kebap - Turkish Shish Kebab part II

This recipe is from  my Turkish boy friend, so this must be an authentic kebab!!

Ingredients for Marinade:
1/2 cup Milk
1/3 cup Olive Oil
2/3 cup Tomato Paste (or 1 cup Tomato sauce)
1/4 onion, minced or grated
1 clove garlic, minced or grated
Dried herb (Oregano, Rosemary, Basil)
Salt
Black pepper

Ingredients:
Beef or Lamb, cut into bite size cube
1 Green bell pepper, sliced
4 Roma Tomatoes, sliced 

Preparation:

Mix well all the marinade ingredients
Sprinkle salt & pepper on the beef
Pour the marinade over the beef cubes and toss
Cover it with plastic wrap and allow to marinate overnight in the fridge

Wooden bamboo skewers must be soaked at least 30 minutes in water prior to use, this prevents the bamboo skewers from burning (I always forget to do this)

Place the marinated beef cubes on skewer, alternate with sliced tomatoes and green peppers

Place the beef and veggies over the grill and roast them until the beef becomes brown

Moisten the beef and veggies with marinade while roasting

*Kebabs can be grilled, broiled or baked

My place doesn't have an outside BBQ space so I was planning to bake the kebab in the oven.  However, one of my Thai friend who has a BBQ area invited me to her place.  I was able to grill the kebab!

She also made Summer roll with homemade peanut sauce for appetizer

BBQ Chicken

and berry smoothie for desert!! (So cutieee)

On top of that, we enjoyed watching fire works from her place!!  Thank you sooo much!! :))

Let's plan another BBQ!!
