Steak Kebabs
Description
The recipe begins by marinating thick sirloin steak cubes in a mixture of olive oil, soy sauce, citrus, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, and freshly ground black pepper. This marinade tenderizes the steak and imbues it with savory, tangy, and slightly sweet notes over several hours in the refrigerator. Vegetables including mushrooms, red, green, and yellow bell peppers, and red onion chunks are lightly tossed with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Assembling the kebabs involves layering the marinated steak pieces with the prepared vegetables onto soaked wooden skewers to ensure even cooking and prevent burning. Grilling over medium-high heat allows for caramelization and charring while retaining juiciness inside the meat and crisp-tender vegetables. The instructions emphasize brushing grill grates with oil to prevent sticking and layering onion slices to avoid burning.
These kebabs provide a balanced dish with smoky meat and grilled vegetables, suitable as an entrée for outdoor cooking or casual meals. Serving the kebabs with sides like rice, salad, or bread rounds out the meal. Soaking skewers beforehand improves grilling safety and performance.
Ingredients
Marinade
- 1/4 c olive oil
- 1/4 c soy sauce
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice fresh
- 1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 2 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp honey
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Kebabs
- 1 3/4 lbs sirloin steak (look for thicker steaks), cut into 1 1/4 inch pieces
- 8 oz cremini mushroom halved (unless small, keep whole, or button mushroom
- 3 bell pepper cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces, 1 red, 1 green, 1 yellow
- 1 red onion about 1 1/4-inch, large, diced into chunks
- 1 Tbsp olive oil plus more for brushing grill grates
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 10 wooden skewer sticks soaked in water for at least 30 minutes
Instructions
- For the marinade: In a mixing bowl whisk together all marinade ingredients.
- 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.
- Preheat a grill over medium-high heat to about 425 degrees (partway through preheating clean grill grates if they aren't already clean).
- 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).
- 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).
- 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.
