Method

This is one of our favorite beef kabob recipes. The ingredients call for cherry tomatoes, but you can omit the tomatoes for an ultra low-carb meal, which is perfect for those who are on the HCG diet plan or who were instructed to eat low-carb for the next few weeks or months.

For the marinade: mix everything below in a bowl

1/4 cup lime or lemon juice

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Have marinade in a large bowl or gallon ziploc bag. Mix the cubed beef, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, and eggplant in the marinade. Stir or flip every 30 minutes. Let sit for 2 hours.

Soak the skewers in a shallow pan of water for 10-15 minutes. This is to prevent the skewers from breaking upon grilling.

Place beef kabobs on grill. Grill for 7-10 minutes on each side, or until desired doneness.
