How to grill kabobs on a gas grill?
Step 1: Prepare the skewers
I like to use metal skewers but of course, you can also use wooden skewers. You can also use rosemary stalks as another option. They are as sturdy as regular skewers and can be used on the grill with no problem.
Quality stainless steel skewers
If you regularly make kabobs, invest in them.
Clean and wipe them with a damp cloth before use.
Wooden skewers
If you don't have a set of steel skewers, a wooden skewer will suffice. You need to soak these in water first so they don't burn when baking. When wooden skewers catch fire, they can affect the cooking process and the quality of the finished product. Just place the skewers in a mixing bowl, cover them with cold water, and soak them for at least 30 minutes.

Step 2: Choose ingredients
A recipe of your own or your own. Usually, barbecue has meat and vegetables, but seafood such as scallops, fruit, and other ingredients are sometimes used.
Here are some suggested meats and vegetables for kabobs:
** Meat
Beef tenderloin, rib tenderloin, sirloin
Chicken-boneless breasts or tenders, thighs
Sausage
Pork-boneless chops or tenderloin
Bacon
Lamb-leg, loin, or shoulder
Swordfish
Salmon
Halibut
Tuna
Shrimp
Scallops
**Vegetables
Firm tofu
Onions
Bell peppers
Mushrooms-portobello or white button
Zucchini
Summer squash
Cherry tomatoes
Eggplant
Carrots
Potatoes
Cut your ingredients into small pieces. Place your ingredients on a cutting board and use a sharp kitchen knife to cut them into squares about 2.54 cm thick. The most important thing to remember is to cut your ingredients into roughly equal-sized pieces.
Tip: If you choose to marinate meat or seafood before making the kabobs, use an acidic ingredient like lemon juice to tenderize the meat. Just make sure not to marinate the seafood for longer than 30 minutes, or the seafood will become mushy when cooked.

Step 3: Spices and marinade ingredients
They keep the outside of ingredients dry, which is great for drying and coloring.
** Note: Avoid glazes or sauces containing sugar, fresh or dried herbs, or too much oil, which can catch fire and cause fires.
Recommend adding salt and pepper to your proteins, then when cooked, transfer them to a shallow plate and mix with your favorite sauce or marinade.
Alternatively, since the meat is already cooked, you can serve the accompanying sauce.
Step 4: Combine kabobs on skewers
Skewer the ingredients from start to finish on a stick.
Usually, the kebab alternates the cuts of meat with pieces of fruit or vegetables, as this creates a great flavor contrast.
Arrange the ingredients so that they are about 1/2 inch apart on the skewers. Leave a small space between each piece so that the kabobs are thoroughly cooked on all sides.
Step 5: Prepare your grill properly
Preheat the grill to the hottest setting possible for at least 15-20 minutes, use a wire brush to scrape and remove any debris beforehand, then wipe the grill clean with an absorbent paper towel...
Set the knob to adjust the medium temperature, close the grill and let the oven heat up. Let the grill heat up for 5-10 minutes before placing the kabobs.

Step 6: Bake the kabobs
Make sure we have oiled the kabobs.
Place kabobs on the baking surface. If your grill is hot, you will immediately begin to hear a sizzling sound. When you place the roast on the grill, leave some space between each skewer to ensure even cooking.
To keep the barbecue from sticking to the grill, you should brush the grill surface with vegetable or olive oil just before you set the barbecue down. Use a grill brush to be safe.
Flip the kabobs while cooking so all sides cook evenly. Make sure all sides of each kabob are touching the grill - this not only ensures doneness but also helps the meat have an even crispy appearance. As a general rule, most grilled meats will need about 10-15 minutes to cook, which is 3-4 minutes for each of the 4 sides.

Step 7: Check
Remove one of the steaks from the grill.
Cut the meat into pieces to check if it's cooked.
If the meat is pink on the inside, runny red, or has an inside that's hard to cut, it needs to cook longer.
Step 8: Finish
As soon as the meat is cooked and the vegetables are crispy and lightly burned, remove the kabobs from the grill.
You can sprinkle kabobs with chopped herbs for extra flavor.
Seasoned rice or a piece of flatbread and a salad are often served as a side dish
When you find yourself with loads of junk and end up in the fridge, baking kabobs are a great way to clean the house. Even better, when you use a gas grill to cook them, you'll find the convenience and quickness surprising.
