Turkish Shish kebab, or Sis kebap as it's originally called, is very tasty and so tender. These grill skewers with beef tenderloin and some vegetables is really delicious no matter the season. The barbecue skewers are easy to make, but requires some time for the marinade.

Leave the tomatoes whole4: Find the wooden skewers (about 10 pieces) and wrap them in a wet kitchen towel (so the skewers get soaked and not so easily burnt)5: Alternately put the meats and vegetables on the skewers as you like6: Grill the skewers at high heat on the grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side- Serve with rice or bulgur salad and delicious accessories such as aubergine salad, bean salad etc.
Noter
You can use whatever type of meat you like, but meat with a bit of fat marbling is preferable. We used a leftover sirloin, a single entrecote steak and 2 cheap steaks
Allow the meat to soak for as long as possible in the marinade - preferably for up to 24 hours. It helps to soften the meat and give it flavor
Minced onions (juice) and milk are important ingredients in the marinade - they both help to make the meat really tender
Turkish Sivri peppers may not be easy to find. But if you have the opportunity, get them (often at the local ethnic greengrocer). In my opinion, no other peppers have as good and significant taste
If you remember to moisten the wooden spears, they will not burn. We just wrap a little wet kitchen towel around them
If you want the best - and most original flavor, then grill the skewers - preferably over charcoal. Then you get exactly the same taste as in Turkey
