You will love the colors in this beef shish kebab recipe. The brightness of the veggies against the darkness of the beef on a bed of hot white rice is just plain appetizing. And the marinade makes the beef tender, and delicious. In the middle east, kebabs are not always prepared on a skewer and do not always consist of cubed meat and veggies. Since kebabs are prepared in just about every middle eastern country, there are several spellings, such as kabob, kebob, kebap, kabab, and kebab.
