Juicy Grilled Beef Skewers Plate with Fries & Garden Salad

Instructions

Step 1: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 2: In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, paprika, black pepper, and salt.

Step 3: Add beef cubes to the marinade and toss until fully coated. Let sit for 15-30 minutes.

Step 4: Thread marinated beef cubes onto skewers, dividing evenly.

Step 5: Preheat grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates.

Step 6: Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until meat reaches desired doneness.

Step 7: While skewers cook, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 8: Add potato fries and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden and crispy. Season with 1/2 tsp seasoning salt.

Step 9: Toss romaine lettuce, cucumber slices, tomato slices, and red onion in a bowl.

Step 10: Drizzle salad with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 11: Plate skewers alongside fries and salad. Serve immediately while hot.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store cooked beef skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a warm skillet over medium heat or in the oven at 350°F for 10-12 minutes.

Leftover fries are best enjoyed fresh, but you can store them in the refrigerator and crisp them up in a 400°F oven for 5-7 minutes. The salad is best prepared fresh, though you can prep the vegetables ahead and assemble just before serving.

For meal prep, marinate the beef the night before and cook the skewers fresh when ready to eat. This makes weeknight dinners even faster and more convenient.
