How do you defrost frozen kabobs?
Chef's answer
Thaw the shish kabobs in the refrigerator overnight, rather than on the countertop, which encourages bacterial growth. To cook raw shish kabobs, grill or oven roast them until the vegetables are tender. Beef and pork should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145 F.

A good kabab should be cut from the sirloin tip or top round, which have enough muscle integrity to allow it to stand up to a marinating process .

filet mignonThe best cut of beef for kebabs is definitely filet mignon. Other excellent beef options include Porterhouse, and if it looks good at the butcher or in the meat counter, also try a rib-eye. They all grill nicely and don't require a marinade to make them tender.
