📝 Ingredients
👩🍳 Instructions
1
Prepare Korean BBQ Beef Marinade: Whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, grated pear/apple, Gochujang (if using), rice wine vinegar, and black pepper. Place beef cubes in a bowl or bag, pour marinade over, and refrigerate 2 hours to overnight.
2
Prepare Soy-Lime Chicken Marinade: Whisk together soy sauce, lime juice, olive oil, honey, ginger, garlic, red pepper flakes (if using), and black pepper. Place chicken cubes in a separate bowl or bag, pour marinade over, and refrigerate 30 minutes to 2 hours.
3
Prepare Vegetable Skewer Seasoning: In a large bowl, combine zucchini, yellow squash, bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper; toss to coat.
4
Thread Skewers: For beef, alternate marinated beef with yellow onion and red bell pepper on skewers. For chicken, alternate marinated chicken with zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and red onion. For vegetable skewers, thread the seasoned vegetables, varying colors.
5
Preheat Grill: Heat grill to medium-high (400-450°F / 200-230°C). Clean and lightly oil the grates.
6
Grill Beef Skewers: Place beef skewers on the grill. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, turning, until desired doneness (10-12 minutes total for medium-rare). Remove and let rest.
7
Grill Chicken Skewers: Place chicken skewers on the grill. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, turning, until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) (12-15 minutes total).
8
Grill Vegetable Skewers: Place vegetable skewers on the grill. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, turning, until tender-crisp with grill marks. Serve immediately with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
💡 Notes
Ensure wooden skewers are soaked for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Do not overcrowd the grill to allow even cooking and a good sear. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days; reheat gently to avoid drying out.
