Instructions: Cut the beef into cubes. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and halve the onions, wash and dry the mushrooms, de-seed the peppers and cut each one into 12 pieces. Wash and dry the zucchini and cut into 6- by 1-inch slices. Place the beef and vegetables in a large bowl.

Prepare the marinade: Blend the oil and lemon juice together, pour into the bowl and add the remaining marinade ingredients. Toss well together, cover, and marinade in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight.

Prepare the yogurt sauce: Blend all the ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside. Thirty minutes before assembling the kabobs, soak the bay leaves in cold water. Drain and pat dry. Thread the beef, vegetables, and bay leaves alternately onto the metal skewers and cook over medium-hot coals for 15 minutes, turning the kabobs and basting once with any marinade or extra olive oil. The beef and vegetables should be browned and tender.

Serve 2 kabobs per person with a generous spoonful of the herby yogurt sauce.

This recipe serves 6.
