I needed an easy Friday night dinner and I didn't want it to be turkey leftovers. I have made a thousand and one marinade recipes and each one is about this same as the last. This recipe wasn't that different from the others.
I did like the extra flavor of the lemon in this marinade. It added a nice freshness to it. I marinaded mine for 5 hours - which is the magic amount of time for me.

- 2 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- Juice of 1 lemon , about 2 Tablespoons

Vegetables for kabob

Steak kabob marinade:
Place olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, brown sugar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl or gallon-sized zip-top bag. Stir or shake until combined. Place meat inside the bag and let sit for at least 30 minutes (up to 5 hours). If you have more time, let it sit longer.
Prepare kabobs
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and close the lid. Thread meat and vegetables through skewers.
Place the skewers on preheated grill. Turn the skewers until nicely browned on all sides and the meat is no longer pink, about 10 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper before serving, if desired.
