You’ll need:

For The Kabobs:

• 2 pounds of lean steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 3 varied colored bell peppers, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
• Salt and pepper to taste 
• Wooden or metal skewers

PRO TIP:

Be sure to cut the steak pieces and veggies the same size so they grill evenly.

For The Marinade

• ¼ cup of soy sauce
•  ¼ cup of olive oil
•  ¼ cup of Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons of minced garlic
• 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• ½ teaspoon of salt

Substitutions And Additions

STEAK: There are several different cuts of steak you can use. Try top sirloin steak, beef tenderloin, New York Strip steak, or ribeye.

VEGGIES: Green peppers and red bell peppers are an easy favorite, but you could also add squash, zucchini, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or even chunks of pineapple to your skewers.

How To Make This Beef Kabobs Recipe

STEP ONE: Mix the marinade ingredients together in a small bowl or a Ziploc freezer bag. Remove ¼ cup of the marinade to use later on the vegetables when ready to grill.

STEP TWO: Add the meat pieces to the kabob marinade (whether in a bag or bowl) and marinate for one hour or up to 24 hours.

STEP THREE: Preheat the outdoor grill to high heat. 

STEP FOUR: Place the reserved ¼ cup of marinade in a large bowl. Add the pepper and red onions and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to mix well.

STEP FIVE: Thread your skewers with the beef chunks, peppers, and onions, alternating down the skewer.

STEP SIX: Place the kabobs directly over the heat on the grill and reduce the heat to medium-high heat.

STEP SEVEN: Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, turning the skewers every 2 to 3 minutes until the meat is cooked to the desired doneness and the vegetables have a slight char around the edges. 

STEP EIGHT: Remove from the hot grill and serve.

Storing This Beef Kabob Recipe

IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftover grilled steak kabobs in the fridge for up to three days in a Ziplock bag or airtight container.

IN THE FREEZER: Not all vegetables, cooked or raw, freeze well, and therefore these beef skewers may not be the best recipe to freeze. Your veggies may turn out mushy once you thaw them.

Juicy steak kabobs are a fun and tasty way to enjoy the summer grilling season. The great flavor of the marinated steak and the fresh vegetables can be served with cold salads on the side for a delicious meal. This beef kabobs recipe does not require a lot of prep which makes them easy to whip up quickly!
