Grilled Steak Kabobs are skewers of tender marinated beef, sweet bell peppers, and onions that are grilled to perfection.
Servings 14 people
Ingredients
- 4 lbs. beef
- 2 lbs. fresh mushrooms
- 1 red onion large
- 4 zucchinis
- 1 garlic clove large, minced
For the Soy Sauce Marinade:
- ¼ cup sesame oil
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 cup soy sauce reduced sodium
- ½ tsp. black ground pepper
- ½ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
How to Make Soy Sauce Marinade
- Cut meat into 1-inch square cubes. Rinse the meat and set aside to allow excess water to drain.
- In the meantime, prepare the marinade. Add all the ingredients into a glass measuring cup: sesame oil, olive oil, organic soy sauce, black ground pepper, red pepper flakes and minced garlic. Stir well.
How to Prep Meat and Vegetables
- Pour the marinade over clean beef cubes, stir to coat, cover with a lid and place into the fridge to marinate for about 4 hours.
- Prepare all the vegetables; rinse, chop or slice. Combine vegetables with marinated meat.
- Thread beef and vegetables onto metal skewers. Wooden skewers will work too, be sure to soak them in the water for 15 minutes before threading beef and vegetables.
How to Grill Vegetables and Steak Kabobs
- Preheat grill to 375 F (190 C). Place skewers on main grill rack.
- Cook the skewers for about 15 minutes per side or to your liking. (We prefer meat well done. If you like meat rarer done, reduce the cooking time.)
- Serve right away. We love to enjoy these kabobs with Mashed Potatoes and Garlic Breadsticks or Toasted Garlic Bread.
Notes
- Marinate the beef for at least 4 hours for the best flavor and tenderness. This allows the meat to soak up all the delicious flavors and become tender when grilled.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 15 minutes before threading the beef and vegetables. This prevents them from burning during grilling and also keeps them from splinter.
- Cut the beef and vegetables into similar-sized pieces to ensure even cooking. This also makes the kabobs look more appealing and makes them easier to eat.
- Preheat the grill before placing the kabobs on it. This helps to sear the meat and lock in the juices, keeping the beef moist and tender.
- Cook the kabobs for about 15 minutes per side, or to your liking. We prefer meat well done. If you like meat rarer done, reduce the cooking time.
- Serve the kabobs immediately for the best flavor and texture. Grilled Steak Kabobs are perfect for a summer cookout or a family dinner. Serve them with mashed potatoes and garlic breadsticks for a complete meal.
