Ka-Bam Kabobs - Mindee W.

I got this recipe from Emril off the food network. The meat was so yummy. It kind of had a beef jerky flavor and the veggies tasted great! In this recipe he bakes the skewers, but I decided to grill them which was super yummy. I will make this recipe again. I have also used the baby bam seasoning in other things.


Ingredients
8 ounces button mushrooms
1 medium yellow onion, peeled
1 large green or red bell pepper
1 1/2 pounds beef sirloin, fat trimmed
1 tablespoon Baby Bam, recipe follows
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
Wood or metal skewers

Directions
Place the mushrooms in a large bowl of water and gently turn to remove any grit or dirt. Dry on a clean kitchen towel and set aside.
Cut the onion in half. Cut each half into quarters, keeping the pieces together as much as possible. Remove the upper fourth of the bell pepper. Remove the stem end, inside ribs, and seeds. Cut the pepper into quarters crosswise, then into 1-inch pieces.
Cut the meat into 1-inch pieces and place in a large glass bowl. Add the Baby Bam and toss to coat. Add the Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, vegetable oil, and garlic, and stir to combine. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 4 hours.

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place the oven rack in the top position. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil. Remove the meat from the refrigerator. Thread 1 meat cube onto a skewer, followed by a mushroom, bell pepper, and onion. Continue threading alternating ingredients onto the skewer until the skewer is full. Place the filled skewers on the baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes for medium. (or you can grill them)

Baby Bam Seasoning:
3 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons onion powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon celery salt

Here's something to season your foods, like the grown-ups do with Emeril's Original Essence. Add another dimension by sprinkling it into everything, from soups and sauces to pizza and hamburger patties. You fearless bammers out there can kick this up a notch by adding cayenne, to taste. (I'd start with about 1/4 teaspoon, and then take it from there.)
Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir well to combine with a wooden spoon.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Yield: about 3/4 cup
