You guys, I have to be honest with you. I bragged to my friends about these Steak and Mushroom Kabobs for a good reason. These are really, honestly, SO delicious! Cross my heart.
You know what’s just as delicious?
The Mint Yogurt Dip that goes with them. Please prepare that awesome mint yogurt sauce because all of this awaits you, and it is SO YUMMY! Just mix together plain yogurt, garlic, mint, lemon juice and some spices and oil for a fresh, irresistible dipping sauce.
I am 150% sure that the marinade has a little something to do with the amazing flavor and tenderness of these kabobs. It’s a mixture of good old extra virgin olive oil, vinegar, thyme, oregano, and garlic. I use it as a marinade, and I also use it as a salad dressing. AND a dipping sauce for bread. Easy, flavorful and versatile.
The delicious marinade goes right on the meat, and let that meat sit for a little while before threading it onto skewers together with baby Portobello mushrooms and bright red onions.
Fire up the grill, and cook up these pretty steak and mushroom kabobs for dinner tonight!
