Beef kebab over garlic-basil orzo topped with crispy salami "croutons" and steamed broccoli

Beef kebab over garlic-basil orzo topped with crispy salami "croutons" and steamed broccoli






I don't know how about everyone else, but one of the things I miss about the summer is the BBQ suppers. It's such an easy and delicious way without messing up your kitchen. And especially when you dont have to stand over the grill, because its a man's job, right? So I figured why not make my own indoor "grill" and recreate that experience without making any pots dirty. All you need is a disposable pan thats a little bit smaller than your skewers and you can set up your own indoors BBQ! Enjoy this quick and easy supper idea!

Ingredients 
1 package orzo cooked according to instructions and drizzled with garlic basil olive oil
1 lb bag of frozen broccoli florets, steamed 
2 lb beef stew chunks
1 red (purple) onion cut into 1 inch pieces
1/4 cup oil mixed with spices of your choice (I like to use basic flavors: paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper)

You will need metal or wooden skewers. If you use wooden skewers presoak them in water for at least half hour to avoid burning

Instructions
Preheat oven to broil (make sure you remove all racks that are too close to burner)
Thread beef pieces alternating with onion chunks on skewers, leave about 1inch empty on ends in order to hold on our "grill". When finished place skewers on the edge of the baking pan.




Take the spiced oil mixture and brush it evenly all over your kebabs, If you have time you can also marinade the pieces in this mixture before threading them on skewers.




Place it in oven under broiler (about 8-10inches away from fire) and broil it 4 minutes on each side. When turning them around or removing them from oven be very careful, metal skewers will be very hot.


Crispy salami "croutons"

Ingredients:
1 small chunk of salami (calculate 1" slice per serving), cut into small crouton size pieces (about half inch cubes)

Preheat oven to 400
Place salami cubes on greased baking sheet, Spray them on top with the olive oli spray
Bake it for 7-8 minutes, or until it crisps up on all sides
