On the super hot days, it's so hot that we really do not feel like cooking inside, so we try to prepare most of our dinner on the BBQ. Another favourite at our place is grilled beef tenderloin and veggie skewers, which work great on the really hot days. Whenever there is a good deal on beef tenderloin we usually grab it and cut it into steaks. When we are done we are usually left with chunks of beef which work out great to make a meal of beef skewers. This meal does take a bit of planning ahead because we marinate the meat in Italian Dressing the night before. It is also a bit time consuming chopping up the veggies and assembling the skewers, but the end product is very enjoyable!
For the veggies I use different coloured peppers (we prefer red, orange and yellow - we find they taste great when they are grilled), cherry tomatoes, red onion and if we are serving it to guests I add mushrooms.
The finished product ...
We usually make herb potatoes wrapped in tinfoil on the BBQ also when we have these skewers (the entire meal is prepared on the BBQ -- BONUS).
For the potatoes we drizzle a bit of olive oil over top of the chopped potatoes and then sprinkle some chives, oregano, parsley, basil, garlic, cumin, red pepper and black pepper. Then we throw them on the BBQ about half hour before the meat goes on and that's it!
Do you have a special marinate or seasoning you use on your meat? What do you add to your herb potatoes?
