German term or phrase: Fleisch-Spiess

it seems to be something edible, but in LEO I've found only meat skewer: is it? (never heard of)

Not much context, but this is a product label, with information like protein/ carbohydrates/ fats

Shish-Kebab

Explanation:
Meat skewer if talking about the implement. Placed onto it are pieces of meat and veg, like onions and paprika, and then it`s roasted. Quite a common and popular dish!

grilled meat

Explanation:
I would call it Shish-Kebab on a menu or meat on a skewer, but if it is in a list of ingredients, you may just want to call it grilled meat or skewer-grilled meat
