  3. Blend the sauce ingredients until completely smooth and creamy.
  4. Preheat a charcoal grill or outdoor grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Place the skewers on the grill and baste generously with the prepared sauce.
  6. Cook the kabobs, turning occasionally and basting frequently with the remaining sauce.
  7. Grill for 10-15 minutes if using cubes, or 5-10 minutes if using strips, until the meat is tender and cooked to your desired doneness.
  8. Remove from the grill and serve immediately with the extra sauce on the side for dipping.

Note

Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading the meat to prevent them from burning on the grill.

The sauce can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of water if it thickens too much.

For a gluten-free option, ensure your chicken stock and Kahlua are certified gluten-free.

Adjust the amount of horseradish to suit your preference for heat.

Serve with rice, grilled vegetables, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
