2. Marinate the Beef: Place the beef cubes in a zip lock bag and pour the marinade over them, ensuring that the beef is fully coated. Seal the bag tightly and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or ideally up to 24 hours, allowing the beef to soak up the flavors of the marinade. Remember to turn the bag occasionally to ensure even marination.

3. Reserve the Marinade: Before grilling, reserve a portion of the marinade for basting. This step is crucial if you plan to use the marinade for chicken later. By reserving a portion, you can avoid any cross-contamination while still enjoying the same flavorful baste for your chicken kabobs.

4. Thread the Skewers: Once marinated, thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, ensuring they are evenly spaced for even cooking.

5. Preheat the Grill: Grease your grill and preheat it to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s hot enough to achieve that perfect sear on the beef kabobs.

6. Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally and basting with the reserved marinade. The beef should be browned on the outside and cooked to your desired level of doneness, whether it’s medium-rare or well-done.

7. Serve and Enjoy: Once cooked to perfection, remove the beef kabobs from the grill and serve hot, garnished with your favorite herbs or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. These BBQ Caribbean Beef Kabobs are best enjoyed alongside grilled veggie kabobs and potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal that’s bursting with flavor.
