Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs sirloin or ribeye steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced (optional)
- Skewers (if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 30 minutes)
- Marinade:
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp brown sugar or honey
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Step-by-step Directions
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, brown sugar or honey, dried oregano, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to blend the ingredients well.
2. Marinate the Beef
Place the beef cubes into a large resealable bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, making sure every piece is evenly coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate. Let the beef marinate for at least 1 hour, ideally up to 8 hours to enhance the flavors.
3. Assemble the Kabobs
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. On each skewer, alternately thread marinated beef cubes with chunks of red and green bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini if using. Ensure there is a little space between each item to allow even cooking.
4. Grill the Kabobs
Place the skewers on the grill. Cook them for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness, approximately 4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe serves 4 to 6 people. Preparation time is about 20 minutes, plus at least 1 hour for marination. Cooking time is about 10 minutes.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- To store, place the cooked kabobs in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
- To reheat, gently warm the kabobs in an oven preheated at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
- Avoid microwaving as it can make the beef tough.
Conclusion
These savory beef kabobs are a fantastic choice for any cookout or family dinner. They’re not only flavorful and easy to make but also versatile, allowing for various vegetable and marinade substitutions to suit your taste. Enjoy the grilling, and delight in the flavors of this wonderful meal crafted to create lasting memories!
