Good but could use some more seasonings

These were quite good. I marinated them for about 24 hours and they came out very tender. Even guests who say they normally don't like grilled beef because it is too tough, complimented on them. Next time I will definately add salt and pepper though, in my opinion they needed it but I will make these again. Thanks!

well... the way we make kabobs is more flavorful. just yogurt and mint won't help. it is important to add a lot of different types of spices. cayenne pepper.. garlic, ginger, salt, pepper, (sometimes) turmeric, and other spices of your choice. trust me, it will taste better with more spices.

This marinade is super delish. Like another reviewer, I added some lemon juice and a tablespoon of curry powder. I also used greek yogurt rather than regular - its thicker and stuck to the meat. I just piled the rest of the yogurt mix on top of the meat as it grilled. We used lamb (we don't eat beef). Next time I'm going to try chicken. Served with tzaziki, pita, and olives. Thanks for the recipe!

This is a very nice version of Persian "Barg" Kabob, I recommend hammering the meat firmly for a couple of minutes before marinating it, and do not rinse the marinade, shake it a bit before put it on the skewer.

I was not impressed with this recipe. All I could taste were the onions. A lot of work for a not very good meal.

The writer suggested a cucumber salad. I'm not certain what type of salad of cucumber, but i would like to add that a handful of crushed/pulverized garlic cloves mixed with plain yogurt and a cup of finely chopped cucumber is a very good side dish.

In all fairness we tweaked the recipe a lot. We used chicken instead of beef. We marinated overnight with ingredients other reviewers suggested like fresh mint, lemon juice, curry, garlic powder. Next time we'll use fresh garlic, more lemon juice w/ zest and authentic greek yogurt. Good starting point. Will try again. Thanks. Servied with Alton Brown's Lentil salad. Yum!
