Beef Souvlaki Kebabs
The following recipe and photography were provided by our partner, Chef Billy Parisi.
Kebabs may be bite-size, but these Beef Souvlaki Kebabs are bursting with flavor!
Marinating Heinen’s tender CARE Certified sirloin in herbs, garlic and red wine vinegar makes it savory, so it pairs well with fresh greenhouse-grown cherry tomatoes and homemade tzatziki sauce.
