Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds sirloin steak
- 2 bell peppers
- 1 large red onion
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce low sodium
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon chipotle chili powder optional, for a bit of kick
Instructions
- Cut steak, peppers, and onion into roughly equal sized pieces (about 1-1.5").
- In a large freezer bag or storage container, stir together the olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, honey, onion powder, and chipotle powder if using.
- Add steak and let marinate for at least one hour, and up to 6 hours.
- If using wooden skewers, soak for 10 minutes before skewering beef and vegetables.
- Skewer beef cubes and vegetables, alternating as you like. I try to ensure 3-5 cubes of beef per skewer, depending on how long the skewers are.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Place kabobs directly over the heat, cooking for 4-5 minutes before flipping and cooking another 4-5 minutes. See notes for cook times depending on your preference for doneness.
- Remove and let sit 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Beef Kabob Cook Times:
- Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the internal temperature of the steak is 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, 150°F for medium-well. This can be checked using a meat thermometer.
- Use metal skewers or wooden skewers. If using wooden skewers, soak them just before grilling so they don't burn.
- Cut beef and veggie pieces in uniform sizes to ensure they cook at the same rate.
- Don't overcook it. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the most tender and juicy kabobs.
- To Make Ahead: Leave the beef marinating until ready to grill. Or thread on to skewers no more than 2-3 hours before grilling to ensure the best flavor.
