Note

For wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning.

Ensure the beef meatballs are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for food safety.

You can substitute the A-1 Steak Sauce with a mixture of Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, and a splash of vinegar if needed.

Leftover kabobs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a microwave or oven.
