Beef Kebabs Using bamboo or wooden skewers instead of metal will help keep the steak from getting overcooked on the inside. Metal transfers heat, so is useful to use for chicken, or a meat that you want to cook all the way through, but not so useful for steak that you want done rare or medium rare.

Ingredients

Marinade Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1/4 cup honey
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tbsp minced fresh ginger
• Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Kebab Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 lbs top sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
• 1 large bell pepper
• 1-2 medium red onions
• 1/2 to a pound button mushrooms

• About 20 bamboo or wooden skewers
• Method:
• 1 Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and add the meat. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably several hours or even overnight. (Heck, I've kept the meat marinating for a couple days, still great.)
  2 Soak the skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from completely burning up on the grill.
  3 Cut the vegetables into chunks roughly the width of the beef pieces. Taking care not to poke yourself, thread the meat and vegetables onto double bamboo skewers. One way to do this safely is to put the piece that you are trying to pierce on a cutting board, and then push the skewers through the piece to the board. Using double skewers will help you turn the kebabs on the grill. If you keep a little space between the pieces, they will grill more evenly. Paint the kebabs with some of the remaining marinade.
  3 Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is, and how done you would like your meat, turning occasionally. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  
  
  Serves 4 to 6.

Now, these look awesome and I'll need to try them out 1 day..... but I would choose ground beef over ground pork in this recipe :

Meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting

Preparation time: 10 minute(s)
Cooking time: 30 minute(s)


Ingredients:

• 300 g. of ground pork
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, grated
• 1 carrot, chopped
• 1 celery stalk, chopped
• 18 onion leaves, finely sliced
• 1/2 c. of panko (Japanese bread crumbs)
• 1 and 1/2 tsp. of Kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp. of freshly milled black pepper
• 1 and 1/2 c. of mashed potatoes (get the recipe; just adjust the amount of ingredients to come up with a cup and a half of mashed potatoes)
• softened butter for greasing

Instructions:

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Take three ovenproof ramekins (3/4 cup capacity) brush the inside with butter.
• In a bowl, mix together all the ingredients except the mashed potatoes.
• Divide the meatloaf mix evenly among the three ramekins.
• Bake the meatloaf cupcakes at 350F for 20 minutes.
• Take the ramekins out of the oven.
• Switch the oven heat to broil (top heat on) and turn up the temperature to 425F.
• Invert the meatloaf cupcakes onto a plate (they should come out easily since they would have shrunk and pulled away from the sides during baking).
• Re-invert the meatloaf cupcakes to their proper position and arrange on a baking dish.
• Using an ice cream scoop, top the meatloaves with mashed potatoes (see notes below). Use a spatula to spread the mashed potato all the way to the edges of the top of the meatloaf cupcakes.
• Broil the meatloaf cupcakes for five to seven minutes or just until the mashed potato “frosting” is lightly browned in spots.
• Serve the meatloaf cupcakes with mashed potato frosting on beds of lettuce.

Quick notes:
I recommend adding chopped parsley to the mashed potatoes.
You may use a piping bag to “frost” your meatloaf cupcakes.
