1 Tbsp garlic, minced (about 2–3 cloves)
2 Tbsp lemon juice

1 large white onion, cut into ¾-inch squares (12 pieces)
12 cherry tomatoes, rinsed 1 (4 oz) red bell pepper, rinsed and cut into ¾-inch squares (12 squares)

Directions
1. Preheat grill pan or oven broiler (with the
rack 3 inches from heat source) on high
temperature.
2 Combine ingredients for marinade, and
divide between two bowls (one bowl to
marinate the raw meat and one bowl for
cooking and serving).
3 Mix the beef, chicken, onion, tomatoes,
and red pepper cubes in one bowl of the
marinade and let sit. After 5 minutes,
discard remaining marinade.
4 Place one piece of beef, chicken, tomato,
onion, and red pepper on each of the 12 skewers.
5 Grill or broil on each of the four sides
for 2–3 minutes or until completely cooked
(to a minimum internal temperature of 145 °F
for beef and 165 °F for chicken). Spoon most
of the second half of the marinade over the
kebabs while cooking.
6 Serve three skewers per serving. Drizzle the remaining marinade on top of each kebab before serving (use only the marinade that did not touch the raw meat or chicken).
