The Recipe: Chunks of tender beef kabobs cooked on the grill where an almost-sweet glaze forms on the surface of the meat, we call it "meat bark" and it's irresistible! On the side, serve Grilled Zucchini Kabobs and Grilled New-Potato Kabobs. The timing is perfect: the zucchini go on first, then the par-boiled new potatoes and finally the beef kabobs.
