Marinade for beef shashlik
Description
Contrary to the common belief that it's best to let kebabs marinate overnight, you shouldn't do this. Fermentation may start, which we definitely don't want. With this marinade, the meat will become tender and juicy in just a few hours. If you'd like to make a spicy kebab, in addition to spices and chili pepper, you can add a little Tabasco sauce. However, be sure to taste the marinade as you gradually add the sauce, so the kebabs don't turn out too hot.
