What is Beef Shish Kebab?

Traditionally featuring skewered meat grilled over an open flame, shish kebabs are a staple in Middle Eastern cuisine, much like yakitori is to Japanese cuisine and Pork BBQ to Filipino cuisine. The word “shish” refers to skewers, while “kebab” signifies grilled meat.

While recipes vary by region, the foundation remains the same—tender, marinated meat cooked until smoky and charred, often paired with fresh vegetables for balance
