Beef Shish Kabobs
Find a nice tender cut of meat, we used a Ribeye (as its my favorite cut of Beef)
Dice it until 1.5 inch cubes, and marinate in your favorite marinade. I used:
1tbsp EVOO
1tbsp Soy Sauce
1/2 tsp Sesame Oil
1tsp Salt
1/2tsp black pepper
Allow to marinade for at least 1 hour in the fridge.
Remove from marinade and skewer onto metal skewers alternating each piece with bell peppers, feel free to add other veggies such an onions, mushrooms etc.
Light up your favorite grill, this is mine <---, I have hickory wood with sump lump brackets to get the fire nice and hot.
Rotate on the grill until all sides and nice caramelized and the internal temp of the beef its 128 degrees, or hotter depending on how you like tour beef cooked.
We served this over so cilantro rice and its was 😘.
Fondue
Grab your favorite pack of Fondue packs, we tried the Melting Pot one and it was good. Serve with your favorite crudités, fruit, bread.
Next time we do Fondue we are going to make it from scratch and see the difference. Its one of those things that you can change every time, different cheese, add different spirits etc,
What We Drank
Gin and Lemonade
We wanted something a little sweet, and little fresh and a little magical for this cocktail. Our kids love homemade lemonade so we made a big batch s the recipe follows but you can scale it back.
Lemonade
- 1 3/4 cups of granulated sugar
- 1cup Water
- 9 Lemons
- 7cups of Ice cold water
Procedure
- Combine sugar and the 1 cup of water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil to dissolve all sugar
- Cool the syrup to room temp
- Roll lemons on a cutting board to break the cells inside and make the juice super ready to be squeezed
- Juice the lemons through a fine strainer into a measure jug until you have 1 1/2 cups of juice, remove the seeds from the strainer and add the pulp to the juice
- Pour the 7 cups of ice water into the a jug, add the lemon and the simple syrup
- Stir and enjoy!
Gin and Lemonade
Empress Gin is a tasty and magical gin. It's distilled with Pea flowers which gives it an incredible purple color, but when you add items to do it (specifically acid) it starts to turn. Ill let you watch the video on our TikTok or Instagram to watch the transformation.
- Pour 2oz of Empress gin over ice and stir to chill and dillute
- Strain into a coupe glass
- Pour 4oz of your homemade lemonade over the top
- Garnish with lemon wheel
- Enjoy!
