Grilled Beef Kebabs with Orange-Herb Marinade

Jump to recipe
 
This beef kebab orange-herb marinade is adapted from an appetizer I used to make on the grill station at Spice Market Restaurant. It’s an updated post as the original one was It is super flavorful and is great to make when entertaining since you just throw it all in the blender. Your guests will be asking you for this recipe, guaranteed!
This hits it all, sweet, salty, spicy, umami, herbaceous and citrus notes.

Don’t love spice? just tone it down. I do this when I serve it for my kids.
Not a cilantro fan? try parsley and a little thyme. I’ve also marinaded chicken instead of beef. While it’s good, it’s definitely better with beef because of the orange. Trying swapping lemon zest and see if you prefer that.
