Beef from cattle is best, although I understand that in some areas of New Guinea beef from human beings is used but I wouldn't recommend that due to all the moral and legal issues. When I fondue I use chunks of stew beef from CATTLE and I imagine that would work fine for kabobs, too.

Thornius ~ aren't stewing beef cubes rather tough -- which is why it is recommended for stewing so that it can be tenderized over many hours of slow cooking? For kabobs wouldn't I want to purchase something that was tender when broiled? OR do the hours of marinade deal with the tenderizing issue?

I never did kabobs.But if you get steaks from a young animal , they arent tough at all....... I fry stake for HD in a pan, 5 minutes on each side and it is soft.

I personally like chuck or round steak.

the stew meat will be okay IF it's marinated.
you could also use sirloin - just cut the piece into small, bite-sized pieces (a little smaller than the shrimp as that will cook quicker).
something like filet tips would be best tho...marinated or not.

Stew meat would be alright if it is marinated, like joclyn said. I would use a round steak or just something steak-y and inexpensive. You could use a fancy sounding cut of beef (aka pricey) but really something basic like a round steak would work great (not so pricey). Especially if it needs to marinate for a while. Marinating will help tenderize the fibers in the meat.
Dodge, I didn't know you raised cattle! If only I lived closer I'd be buying your meat. As it is I only get it from a small butcher shop that only sells local, fresh meat that they process (well, that's obvious, isn't it?). It is so much juicier, tender-er, pretty, and the fat content is a lot lower. Just love fresh meat! I can't even look at the stuff at the grocery store, I just cringe and walk on by...
