What are Kabobs?
Kabobs (or Kebabs) are small pieces of meat and vegetables cooked on a skewer over a fire. They originate in the Middle East but are found in so many different countries including Africa, India, Greece, and Turkey. They can be made with different meats – usually beef, chicken, fish or lamb/goat, and sometimes pork too. Tip: Soak the skewers in water to stop them from burning. You can also do this overnight or 30 minutes before cooking. Disregard if you are using metal skewers.
What ingredients do I need for these grilled sirloin steak kabobs:
- Sirloin steak: It’s the best cut of beef for kabobs because it’s so tender and easy to cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Vegetables: I used green, red, and yellow bell peppers, as well as a red onion – simple, healthy vegetables that are packed with nutrition and flavor.
- Marinade: This steak kabob marinade is a mixture of sauces and spices, including soy sauce, bbq sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and also Italian seasoning.
How to Grill Steak Kabobs
The night before (or at least 2 hours before):
- Cut the meat and veggies into bite-sized pieces.
- Marinate the skewers in soy sauce, barbecue sauce, red wine vinegar, oil, dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. It’s the perfect combination of tangy and sweet.
When you’re ready to cook:
- When you are ready to eat preheat the grill to 425 degrees and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Thread the steak, peppers, and onions onto the skewers.
- Grill skewers for 6-8 minutes or until your desired doneness. They don’t take long at all!
- Serve immediately with parsley for serving, if desired.
How long to grill steak kabobs?
It will take about 2 minutes on each side on a high-heat grill to get that perfect medium-rare steak. The Grilled Steak kabobs will be nicely browned on the outside, and juicy pink on the inside. Grill for longer if you don’t want any pink!

frequently asked questions
What steak is best for kabobs?
Sirloin is the best steak to use for kabobs as it’s easy to cut, cooks quickly, and is nice and tender making it easier to bite and chew. It also takes on the flavors of the marinade beautifully!
Is stew meat good for kabobs?
Unfortunately, it’s one to avoid for grilled steak kabobs as it is really tough and chewy. It required a long cooking time to become tender which is why it is perfect for stews!
How do you cut peppers and onions for kabobs?
I recommend cutting them into large pieces so that they don’t fall or get stuck between the grill gates. I usually make them about the same width as the steak which is about an inch or so.
