4 x 25cm/10in bamboo skewers, soaked in cold water for 30 minutes
Method
1. Cut the steak into roughly 16 x 2.5cm/1in cubes. Peel the prawns, leaving the last tail segment in place.

3. Stir the cubes of steak into the marinade and leave for 15 minutes.
4. Thread 4 pieces of steak and 3 prawns alternately on to the skewers now and then, until the steak is done to your liking and the prawns are just cooked through.
5. Meanwhile, put the butter and garlic into a small pan and leave to the side of the barbecue to melt. Add the chopped parsley, lemon zest and lemon juice.
6. As soon as the kebabs are cooked, lift them onto 4 plates, spoon over the garlic butter and serve with damper beer bread if you wish.
