Steak Kebabs on the Grill
- Cut the steak into consistent cubes.2 lbs top sirloin steak
- Then cut the bell peppers and onions into cubes close to the same size.1 small green bell pepper, 1 small red bell pepper, 1 small yellow bell pepper, 1 small orange bell pepper, ½ onion
- In a large bowl, pour in the marinade and mix together.
- Put the cubed steak and veggies on the skewer, alternating between each as you go. I like to do one steak cube, then two veggies in alternate colors.
- Preheat your outdoor grill to 375F.
- On a hot grill, cook the shish kebabs for at least 10 minutes, turning every 3 minutes to prevent burning.
- Continue cooking until they reach your preferred level of doneness or until the internal temperature reaches 145F.
- During the last two minutes, lightly brush some oil on the kebabs and generously sprinkle some crushed pepper on both sides for a spicy kick.
Shish Kebabs in the Oven
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Place the skewers on a lined baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes, flipping every 10 minutes and lightly brushing with olive oil each time.
- During the last 5 minutes, sprinkle crushed pepper on both sides.
Notes
- To prevent burning wooden your wooden skewers, soak them for 30 minutes or, even better, overnight. If you love this recipe, consider switching to metal skewers from Amazon that come with a foldable grill rack set.
- Do not put different types of meats on the skewer. Chicken and steak have different cooking times. So if you want to grill some chicken, lamb cubes, or shrimp, do it separately.
- Marinate the beef chunks overnight for a great flavor. Keep the cut vegetables separate and add those only when assembling the skewers.
- To make it even more spicier, sprinkle some peri peri seasoning, harissa powder, creole seasoning, or all-purpose seasoning.
- You don't have to use an expensive cut of meat for your steak shish kabobs. I use sirloin tips steak for my kabobs.
