Kabobs Recipes

Steak Kebabs are the one of the tastiest summertime dinners! These are layered with juicy tender pieces of flavorful, marinated beef and colorful quartet of tender veggies. An exciting recipe the whole family can agree on!

These kebabs start with the most flavorful marinade mixture made with richly flavored ingredients like Worcestershire, soy sauce and bright red wine vinegar. And of course a generous amount of marinating time really allows the flavors to soak right into the beef and also help tenderize it.

The recipe itself is really easy to make, it just takes a bit of time to get everything threaded onto the skewers so grab a friend to make it go twice as fast.

You’ll love them for entertaining and cook outs. Just keep in mind they’ll go quick so you may want to do a double batch.

I recommend sticking with top sirlion or New York Strip since it’s more lean than some other steaks leaving you with nice uniform cubes and not a lot of excess fat. It has great flavor and comes out tender when marinated and properly cooked.

Grilling will give you the best flavor but if you don’t happen to have a grill or weather wont permit, you can bake these on a foil lined baking sheet sprayed with non-stick spray (or parchment paper) in a 425 degree oven. It should take about 10 – 13 minutes (safe internal steak temp is 145 degrees about a medium doneness).

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 c olive oil
  • 1/4 c soy sauce
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tsp Dijon
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 3/4 lbs sirloin steak ((look for thicker steaks), cut into 1 1/4 inch pieces)
  • 8 oz button or cremini mushrooms, (halved (unless small, keep whole))
  • 3 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow) (cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces)
  • 1 large red onion diced into chunks ((about 1 1/4-inch))
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil, (plus more for brushing grill grates)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 10 wooden skewer sticks soaked in water for at least 30 minutes

Instruction:

  1. For the marinade: In a mixing bowl whisk together all marinade ingredients.
  2. For the kebabs: place steak into a gallon size resealable bag. Pour marinade over steak then seal bag while pressing out excess air and massage marinade over steak. Transfer to refrigerator and allow to marinate 3 – 6 hours.
  3. Preheat a grill over medium-high heat to about 425 degrees (partway through preheating clean grill grates if they aren’t already clean).
  4. With veggies on cutting board, drizzle with oil and lightly toss to coat (I actually don’t toss the onion because I like it to stay in chunks, when you thread the onion on layer in chunks about 2 – 3 slices so they don’t burn up).
  5. Sprinkle veggies evenly with garlic powder and season with salt and pepper. To assemble kebabs layer steak and veggies onto kebabs in desired order, work to fit 4 steak pieces onto each kebab (I like to layer 2 onion slices together).
  6. Brush grill grates lightly with oil. Place kebabs on grill and grill until center of steak registers about 140 – 145 degrees for medium doneness, turning kebabs occasionally, about 8 – 9 minutes. Serve warm.
