GRILLED BEEF KEBABS; easy recipe

The history and culture of Turkey were reasons, but I'd be lying if I admit it was really the food and spices that drew me back for a second visit. This time without a backpack. This recipe doesn't come with the gorgeous tapestries and sights of Istanbul, but it does pack an abundance of flavor and spice reminiscent of Ottoman cuisine. So simple, so good!
