AIP Friendly Beef Kabobs with Mushrooms and Onions
Grilling season just got a serious upgrade, and this one is built for anyone navigating the strict boundaries of an autoimmune elimination protocol without wanting to sacrifice flavor. The marinade is where the magic happens — olive oil, apple cider vinegar, coconut aminos, garlic, fresh ginger, turmeric, and thyme come together into something deeply savory and aromatic, all without nightshades, grains, or any of the usual off-limits ingredients that make marinades tricky. Sirloin cubes, earthy cremini mushrooms, and red onion wedges soak it all up for at least an hour before hitting a screaming-hot grill, which means every skewer comes off charred, juicy, and packed with flavor. The coconut aminos do the heavy lifting that soy sauce would normally handle, giving the beef that rich, slightly sweet depth you'd expect from a proper kabob. Cooking to 145°F keeps the beef perfectly safe and tender — not overdone — and a quick three-minute rest locks in all those juices before serving. A scatter of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon over the top brightens everything up beautifully. This makes four servings, so it's just as good for a weeknight dinner as it is for feeding a small crowd at a backyard cookout.
