Steak Kebabs
Steak Kebabs are marinated sirloin pieces skewered with cremini mushrooms, colorful bell peppers, and red onion chunks, then grilled to develop a smoky, charred exterior. The marinade combines olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic, and black pepper, infusing the meat with bold, balanced flavor. The vegetables are seasoned and threaded alongside the steak for a well-rounded, grill-friendly meal.
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.
