Kabobs...you love them don't you

So today I attempted Kabobs. Inspired by FoodNework Magazine (and the scene from the film Miranda where a thug razzes a confused John Simm for loving Kabobs), I made a “steak house kabob”. It was a prefect way to feed three people (one of which being a guy so that’s kindof like serving two women, not to be gender biased) with only a small amount of steak. You see Marilou bought a long tenderloin of steak and while most of it became delicious fillets, there were some smaller bits that Marilou diced up into cubes and froze. To make a quick but delicious and filling meal from them, I did the following:

Marinade the steak cubes in olive oil, chopped parsley (about 3 Tbsp), Thyme (1 Tbsp) salt, pepper, and 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce and Worchestishire. Leave for at least 1 hour (mine was in the fridge for about 2 1/2)
On skewers (marinated about 20 mins in water) put onion, boiled mini red potatoes, the steak and mushroom caps.
Then grill on high (did mine on charcoal) till the steak is cooked through (I think ours were on for about 6 mins in total)

Two issues with this meal:
1. I completely forgot the onions. So we threw some onion slices on the grill at the last minute. They were defiantly missed on the finished product.
2. Also, totally forgot to put out the Quinoa salad that I meant to serve with this which is likely a testament to both the quality of my kabobs and my general inability to remember anything from onions to salad.
