Helpful hints

  • Dawn uses sirloin steak for her Shish Kebabs, but you can use whatever meat you prefer.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes prior to grilling to avoid burning them during the cooking process.
  • This lower protein version of Shish Kebabs has a smaller beef portion compared to the original recipe on DaVita.com. The nutrients have been adjusted to reflect this change.
