Grilling skewers is really genius. They are versatile, customisable, and visually appealing, making them a great option for barbies and gatherings. Better still, everything is already cut into bite-sized pieces making them a perfect option for alfresco dining. Skewers can be made with various meats (chicken, lamb, beef), your choice of vegetables and even fruits. This week, we've chosen an easy-to-make marinated steak skewer that absorbs all the delicious goodness freshly ground spices provide. We've added some crunchy bread, corn on the cob and a cucumber salad to complete the meal. Happy grilling!
