    Kelley Simmons Kelley’s Tips

    Tips Before You Get Started

    • Choose the right cut of meat: 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!
    • 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.
    • Cut vegetables into large chunks: 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.
    • You can add other vegetables onto the skewers like zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, mushrooms, and even pineapple.

    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    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.

    How do I store Steak Kabobs?

    Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat cook on the grill, in the microwave, or in the oven before consuming.

    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!

    How do I cook these without a grill?

    No grill? No problem! Simply cook the kabobs in a 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes! I recommend broiling after for a couple of minutes to mimic the char from the grill!
