Today were not just making one dish, but three;
Dish #1: Grilled kabobs
Dish #2: Grilled veggies
Dish #3: Parisian cut potatoes

You will need the following ingredients:
-1.5kg Black Angus beef; sirloin tip, cubed (get them to do this at the store!)
-1 bag Parisian cut potatoes
-1 white eggplant
-1 cucumber
-32 button mushrooms
-1 package portabella mushrooms
-1 package cremini mushrooms
-1 package cherry tomatoes
-1 large Spanish onion
-5 red peppers
-1 container of 'itialiano' spice mix
-1 container garlic powder
-1 container oregano
-1 container onion flakes
-1 container black pepper
-1 bottle rice vinegar
-1 bottle olive oil

You will need the following materials:
-1 grill
-1 toaster oven
-1 roll large tinfoil
-12 metal spikes (or 7 metal and 6 wooden ones if you've lost your others)
-knives!
-cutting boards
-bowls and such
-grilling implements
-propane! (Don't run out)
-time: roughly 4 hours total. (but only 2 hours of real work)

Here are some pictures of the spices and such:



The meat; I had already mixed it by this point, so you get the label (haha)

Now; you take the meat, and mix up a marinade- which is made from a liberal mixture of olive oil, rice vinegar, itialiano spice, garlic salt, onion bits, and oregano. I don't measure a thing, so feel it out by taste; it's safe to taste the marinade, it should be mixed to be a strong sweet/sour flavor, to your liking, the sour will be gone post cooking, but the sweet flavor will be permeated through your meat. Here is what mixed meat+marinade should look like:

The meat must be stirred periodically for about 2 hours, but only once every 15 minutes or so; so go find something to do with your time.

Now time for the real work!

Now chop some onion, and some pepper, thusly:

These are peppers in case you can't tell; quartered.

Those would be onions; they are also quartered; the cores of those onions will not be good for mounting on skewers, so toss them in a bowl where you'll be mixing veggies, later.
Get your cherry tomatoes ready:

I had my lovely assistant take care of that (as well as most of the chopping), since you might not have a lovely assistant you'll have to do it yourself.

Now get to stabbing!

Meat, mushrooms (uncut so no prep here), and veggies can go on in any order you feel like; you'll note that the meat already looks kind of 'cooked' from being marinated in a strong vinegar; it is not cooked through and still requires heat (unless your some crazy pate eating rube)

Good, now those kebobs are ready for the grill, on to dish #2, grilled veggies.

Now from above we already have some onion set aside into a large bowl, and we also have two red peppers left, chop them thusly:

Humm, could have used the flash on this one....

Chop up the mushrooms, we'll say portabella first

Then button

Then the cramini, but no picture for that; do it exactly like the button mushrooms; that is; quartered. I like to quarter things, if I were ever to become a serial killer I think that would be my M.O., quartering people 

Now move on to chopping up the eggplant

Chop this into 4cm slices and then, wait for it..... quarter the slices!

Now take a cucumber, and peel it:

Please ignore the phallic imagery of having me manhandle my cucumber.

Now chop the cucumber into... quarters, and then chop 4cm slices from the quarters.

Mix the veggies together into a giant bowl; it better be damned giant


Now you need to make a tinfoil bag; take a really long length of very thick tinfoil, fold it over itself, and fold the sides over a few times; I will post a picture by picture illustration:




Now you need to make up a veggie marinade; this is made from oil, oregano, black pepper, itialano spice, chopped onion, and garlic powder (but no vinegar), it should look something like this:


Pour this over your veggies and mix them up; the mushrooms will suck up all the oil and it will be relatively dry, don't worry- the veggies will provide moisture as they cook; so pack them into the bag of tinfoil!


Now we can do the potatoes!
These also require a marinade; the same one as the veggie marinade, but with more garlic, in fact, so if you have extra veggie marinade you can use that, otherwise mix up a small batch again, use more garlic on the potatoes though. It should look something like this before you mix it:

and like this after you mix it with a fork:


Now put the marinade and potatoes into a bag together;
and shake vigorously- that's right, it's do it yourself shake and bake paresian potatoes!


Now load them onto a baking tray (to minimise cleanup cover the tray with tinfoil) and pop them into the toaster oven for 1hr15minuts at 177(Celsius you backward yanks )


Now take your veggies and your meat out to the grill; load up that grill, this may take multiple loads unless you have a really really big barbeque!

These take a good bit of time to finish grilling, since your using real chunks of steak and not some rancid 'cubed meat' stuff. Once you think it's done grab a chunk off one of the skewers and taste it, if it's done to your liking it's done, so bring it inside, and load everything into fancy bowls thusly:




Now for the best part; load up a plate for yourself, and dig in!


Enjoy!
