Let's Kebab!! (or is it Kebob?)

Okay first of all, don't pee your pants because I actually posted on here.
2nd of all, maybe do pee your pants because you will want to after eating these. So good.

you will need:
steak (london broil works good)
crushed garlic (I keep a jar around, because that's how roll)
garlic salt
soy sauce
Worcestershire sauce
bowl or container with lid
asparagus
sea or kosher salt (you can use regular but big chunky salt works best)

Steak Kebab's and YUM Asparagus

1. Get yourself some steak, I chose a London Broil cut because the butcher told me it marinated well, and he was right.

2. Slice your steak (that's right I said slice) into thin strips lengthwise. The thinner you can get it, the better. It helps if you put your meat in the freezer a few hours before you cut it because it makes it easier to slice (my mom told me this and she's a genius). Cut off any big fatty chunks, they are gross.

3. Put your steak slices in a bowl and douse thoroughly with soy sauce. Enough so that you have a little puddle in the bottom of the bowl. Do about 5 or 6 shakes of the Worcestershire sauce as well, but not as much as the soy sauce. Add a couple spoonfuls of the crushed garlic, and sprinkle generously with garlic salt. Mix it all up and make sure your meat is thoroughly coated. Put it in the fridge. I marinated mine overnight and well into the next day stirring every now and then.

4. Skewer the steak strips kebabs accordian style (email me if you have questions about this) pushing the meat closely together. Several strips will go on a skewer.

5. Grill 'em up! Takes about 10 min till done.

Asparagus
1. Turn your oven on to broil.
2. Wash and trim the ends off your asparagus
3. Put asparagus in a gallon plastic bag
4. Douse with olive oil, shake in some sea or kosher salt.
5. Close bag and shake around to thoroughly coat asparagus with oil and salt
6. Lay asparagus out on a cookie sheet, give it another shake of salt
7. Broil for 5 or 6 minutes until tender but not overcooked (till you can stick a fork through it easily). Watch carefully so you don't burn them!

And that's it! Enjoy!

I love Asparagus, stinky pee and all, but no one else here does. But I may just cook me up a batch of that for lunch. All to myself.
