Kalmes Grilled Kebab Baskets

Fire up the grill and load up those rolling baskets — this kebab recipe is built for restaurant-grade results at home, using Kalmes Steak Seasoning & Tenderizer to do the heavy lifting on flavor.

Ingredients

For the Meat

• 1.5 lbs sirloin, ribeye, or chicken thighs, cut into 1–2" chunks
• 2–3 tbsp Kalmes Steak Seasoning & Tenderizer (coat generously)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• Juice of half a lemon

For the Veggies

• Bell peppers (red, green, yellow), cut into chunks
• Cherry tomatoes
• Red onion wedges
• Mushrooms
• Zucchini rounds

Instructions

1. Marinate — Toss meat in olive oil, lemon juice, and Kalmes seasoning. Let sit 30–60 minutes, or overnight for deeper flavor.
2. Prep the veggies — Toss with olive oil and a light dusting of Kalmes seasoning.
3. Load the baskets — Alternate meat and veggies in your rolling grill baskets. Don't overfill — leave room for heat circulation.
4. Grill — Place baskets over medium-high heat (400–450°F). Roll or rotate every 3–4 minutes for an even char on all sides. Total cook time: 15–20 minutes.
5. Rest — Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Serving Suggestions

• Warm pita bread
• Tzatziki or garlic aioli
• Fresh parsley and lemon wedges
• Rice pilaf or foil-packet roasted potatoes on the grill

Pro tip: The rolling basket method gives you that even, all-around sear you'd normally only get from a professional rotisserie — exactly the kind of restaurant-grade result Kalmes is built for.
