In my family, everyone has their version of Shish Kebab. I use beer, in the marinade. Mom uses red wine. Aunt Marlene prefers teriyaki. If you aren't familiar, shish kebab, is Turkish in origin. It means shish (to skewer) kebab (meat). Skewered meat. You can use beef, pork, sausage, etc. Today I am using lamb.

I cube 1 - 2" pieces, from the leg of lamb. A few things to keep in mind. Cut meat away from the bone. Remove fat, silver-skin, and the tendon. Save the fat, and smaller pieces of meat, for ground lamb. 

You'll want to marinate you kebab, overnight. This will tenderize the meat, and provide flavoring.

They don't take long to grill, but you want a little char. Shish Kebab. The perfect way to start grilling season.

Serve with Bulgur Pilaf and Hummus.
