Check out my famous chicken marinade, steak seasoning and steak marinade!

Steak Kabobs

When summer hits, we hit the grill and we hit it hard. I’m grilling multiple times a week during the summer (and quite honestly, year-round thanks to the California sunshine) and these easy steak kabobs are a family favorite.

It’s one of those meals that you can prep in the morning and then throw on the grill when you’re ready to eat.

The steak needs to be marinated for a minimum of an hour so if you can get the steaks in the marinade that morning, do. This will ensure your steak is extra tender and flavorful when dinner time rolls around.

What Sides Go With Kabobs?

Nothing better than an all in one meal like these beef kabobs. Serve over rice or with a simple side salad and dinner is done. If you want to go all in for the best meal of the week, these sides go great are some of our favorites:

  1. Twice Baked Potato Casserole
  2. Creamy Cucumber Salad
  3. Twice Baked Potatoes
  4. Broccoli Salad with Bacon
  5. Homemade Cornbread

Best Steak for Kabobs

You’ll notice from my ingredients list below that I opted for top sirloin steak for these kabobs. The reason sirloin works so great is that it is a very lean cut of meat without a lot of fat so the cubes of steak won’t shrink that much while they are cooking. Other options would be New York strip or tri-tip.

Steak Kabob Marinade Ingredients

This easy beef kabob marinade has a lot of the same ingredients that you’ll find in my chicken marinade and for one simple reason – they work! Here’s what you’ll need for the marinade:

  • balsamic vinegar
  • soy sauce
  • Worcestershire sauce
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • fresh rosemary – you can also use dried rosemary, just reduce the amount to 2 teaspoons
  • garlic
  • Dijon mustard
  • black pepper
  • onion powder

Steak Kabob Ingredients

This is where it gets fun. There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to kabobs. You can skewer almost any veggie you want along with the steak and have a tasty beef kabob recipe. I’ll share here what I used:

  • top sirloin
  • mushrooms
  • red, yellow, orange bell peppers
  • red onion
  • olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Other options would be cherry tomatoes or quartered tomatoes, zucchini, other squash, or red potatoes that have been parboiled.

Tips for the Best Beef Kabobs

  1. Cut all veggies and pieces of meat roughly the same size. Aim for about 1 inch.
  2. Space your veggies and meat out on the skewer when grilling so the heat can circulate around the food and the skewers can cook evenly.
  3. Give your steak time to marinate. A minimum of 1 hour but the longer the better with a maximum of 8 hours.
  4. Use skewers that make turning your kabobs easy. Try double skewering if you are using wooden skewers or pick up some metal skewers like these.
  5. Using wood skewers? Give them a good soaking in water (1 hour +) prior to grilling to keep them from burning.
  6. Do NOT overcook the steak. It will be tough if you do.

FAQs

Can I cook kabobs in the oven or on a grill pan? Absolutely. If using a grill pan, follow the recipe below. If cooking in the oven, bake at 425F for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping over halfway through. (Line your baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.)

How should I store leftovers? Remove meat and veggies from the skewers and place in an airtight container in the fridge.

Can I use something other than top sirloin steak? Yes. Other options would be New York strip or tri-tip.

Can I use veggies other than mushrooms, onions, and pepper? Yes. Cherry tomatoes or quartered tomatoes, zucchini, other squash, or red potatoes that have been parboiled.

    This is a delicious recipe I’ve made it before 🙂 could I put meat in marinade then freeze it to take camping?

    Question, if we want to steak to be medium or medium rare, would it be best to have veggie skewers separate from steak skewers and cook the steak less time?

      Yes, you can certainly do that as it allows you to better control the doneness of the steak for sure.

    I have not tried this recipe as yet but I have tried several others that Trish has shared and I can say that they are not only easy, but they are delicious. I would give Trish a 5 star rating.

    Does most of the sodium come from the soy sauce? I’m looking for ways to lower the sodium. Thanks for the recipe,by the way..looks delish!

      Yes, it sure does. Using a low sodium soy sauce is a great idea!
