Ingredients
- 1 pound beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Skewers (wooden or metal)
How to Make Steak Kabobs
Step 1: Soak the Skewers
If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes. This keeps them from burning on the grill.
Step 2: Make the Marinade
In a bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.
Step 3: Marinate the Ingredients
Add the beef cubes and vegetables to the bowl with the marinade. Toss everything well to coat and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. The longer, the better!
Step 4: Preheat the Grill
While the meat and veggies are marinating, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Step 5: Assemble the Skewers
Once marinated, thread the beef and vegetables onto the skewers. Alternate the beef and veggies for a colorful presentation.
Step 6: Grill the Kabobs
Place your skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes. Turn them occasionally until the beef is cooked to your liking and the veggies are nice and tender.
Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with your favorite sides!
Tips & Variations
