Instructions for Spiedini Recipe

Now that you have your ingredients ready, let’s dive into the preparation! Making Spiedini Recipe is as enjoyable as eating it. Follow these steps for a delicious result.

1. Start by making the amogio sauce. Combine fresh ingredients in a bowl, mix well, and set aside. This sauce will be the perfect accompaniment for your kebabs.

2. In another bowl, add olive oil and set it aside. This will be used to coat the beef slices, ensuring they’re juicy and flavorful.

3. In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, sea salt, and fresh cracked pepper until well combined. This mixture will give the kebabs a delicious crunch.

4. Now, take a slice of beef at a time and completely coat it in the olive oil. Then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture until fully covered.

5. Roll up the coated beef tightly and place it aside on a cookie sheet. If a piece is too large, don’t hesitate to slice it in half for easier handling.

6. Once you’ve rolled all the beef, it’s time to assemble the skewers. Take one skewer and place a piece of the breaded beef, followed by a bay leaf, a square of yellow onion, a piece of red bell pepper, a piece of green bell pepper, and a bit of Italian sausage. Repeat this process until the skewer is full.

7. Repeat the assembly process with all remaining ingredients. Lay each prepared skewer on a cookie sheet.

8. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a flat top griddle or a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat. When hot, add the skewers in batches, searing them for 2 to 4 minutes on each side or until they’re beautifully browned and cooked through.

9. Once cooked, serve the spiedini alongside the amogio sauce and, if desired, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color.
