Grilled Steak or Chicken Kebab Baskets with Kalmes

Rolling grill baskets make it easy to turn steak or chicken and vegetables over the heat. Kalmes Famous 2-in-1 Steak Seasoning & Meat Tenderizer brings savory flavor to the meat and a little extra seasoning to the vegetables. Keep raw meat and vegetables in separate baskets so each can cook to its own doneness.

Ingredients

• 1½ lb sirloin or ribeye, or boneless chicken thighs, cut into even chunks
• Kalmes Famous 2-in-1 Steak Seasoning & Meat Tenderizer, to taste
• 2 tbsp olive oil, plus a little more for the vegetables
• Juice of half a lemon
• Bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes, cut into similar-size pieces

How to Make Grilled Kebab Baskets

1. Season the meat: Toss steak or chicken with olive oil, lemon juice, and Kalmes Famous 2-in-1, following the package guidance for amount. Cover and refrigerate for 30–60 minutes. If marinating chicken, keep it separate from food that will not be cooked with it.
2. Prep the vegetables: Toss the vegetables with a little oil and a light sprinkle of seasoning. Do not reuse marinade that touched raw meat.
3. Fill separate baskets: Place meat and vegetables in separate rolling grill baskets without crowding them. This makes it easier to cook the meat thoroughly without overcooking the vegetables.
4. Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high. Turn the baskets every few minutes until the vegetables are tender and lightly charred. Check meat with a thermometer: cook chicken to 165°F; for steak, cook to your preferred doneness. Timing depends on chunk size, basket fullness, and grill heat, so use temperature rather than a fixed 15–20 minute promise.
5. Serve: Transfer to clean serving dishes. Serve with pita, rice, tzatziki, or lemon wedges.

Tips for Better Grill Baskets

Cut meat pieces to a similar size, leave room for air to circulate, and use separate utensils for raw and cooked food. If you do not have rolling baskets, grill the ingredients on skewers, keeping chicken and vegetables separate.
