Instructions

Gather Your Ingredients:
Ensure you have all your flavorful ingredients ready to go. -
-
Combine for Flavor Explosion:
In a mixing bowl, whisk together ketchup, salt, fresh parsley, pepper, minced garlic, sugar, soy sauce, prepared mustard, wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh lemon juice. Stir until everything is thoroughly combined and the sugar has dissolved. -
Marinate Your Meat:
Place your kebab meat or any meat of your choice in a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the meat, ensuring it’s well coated. Massage the marinade into the meat to ensure maximum flavor penetration. -
Time to Infuse:
For the most robust flavor, cover the marinated meat and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or ideally overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, resulting in a tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful dish. -
Grill or Cook to Perfection:
Once your meat has marinated to perfection, it’s time to fire up the grill or heat up the pan. Cook your marinated meat until it reaches your desired level of doneness, whether it’s perfectly charred on the grill or sizzling in a skillet. -
Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your Beef Kebab Marinade creation hot off the grill, garnished with some extra fresh parsley for a pop of color. Pair it with your favorite sides, from fluffy rice to crisp salad, and enjoy the fruits of your flavorful labor!
