Afterthoughts: Grilling Steaks
I didn’t get my article to the paper early enough, so the photographer went with a brief description of the contents. Since the piece had nothing about skewers, the photo was a little out of whack. However, skewers are probably a good way to cut down on the amount of meat you need for each person–give each person 4 or 5 chunks and you can probably use a pound for 4. I still wouldn’t put the vegetables on the same skewer–they take different times to cook. At the end, you can slide them into piles for people to pick from.
Chicken and steak skewer eating tip: when the meat cooks, it binds to the skewer. If you twist it around the skewer–with fingers or holding it in your teeth and giving a half-turn, it will come free and be a lot easier to eat.
