Easy Beef Kabobs Recipes

AMAZING BEEF KABOBS ON THE GRILL

Steps:

• Cut 3 strip steaks into cubes. Cut long-ways down the middle, then into horizontal slices to divide the steaks into chunks.
• Combine 1 Tbsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. sea salt, and 1 tsp. pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle on the cubed steaks on all four sides, patting down to press the seasoning into the meat.
• Layer a chunk of steak, then a bay leaf, on a skewer, and repeat until all meat is skewered with bay leaves between each piece of steak.
• Brush 1 tsp. olive oil onto each skewer to prevent them from sticking to the grill.
• Grill skewers over high heat with the lid closed for 2 minutes on each side. Watch closely - they cook quickly!
• Once the skewers reach an internal temperature of 135°F (about 8 minutes total), serve and enjoy.

BEEF KEBABS

Steps:

• Marinate the meat: Mix the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and add the meat. Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, preferably several hours or even overnight. (Heck, I've kept the meat marinating for a couple days, still great.)
• Soak skewers in water: Soak the wood or bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling. This will help prevent them from completely burning up on the grill.
• Thread the meat and veggies onto the skewers: Cut the vegetables into chunks roughly the width of the beef pieces. Taking care not to poke yourself, thread the meat and vegetables onto double bamboo skewers. One way to do this safely is to put the piece that you are trying to pierce on a cutting board, and then push the skewers through the piece to the board. Using double skewers will help you turn the kebabs on the grill. If you keep a little space between the pieces, they will grill more evenly. Paint the kebabs with some of the remaining marinade.
• Grill on high, direct heat: Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes, depending on how hot your grill is, and how done you would like your meat, turning occasionally.
• Let rest: Let the meat rest for 5 minutes before serving.

EASY BEEF KABOBS

Steps:

• Cut steak, peppers, and onion into roughly equal sized pieces (about 1-1.5").
• In a large freezer bag or storage container, stir together the oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, honey, onion powder, and chipotle powder if using.
• Add steak and let marinate for at least one hour, and up to 6 hours.
• If using wooden skewers, soak for 10 minutes before skewering beef and vegetables.
• Skewer beef cubes and vegetables, alternating as you like. I try to ensure 3-5 cubes of beef per skewer, depending on how long the skewers are.
• Preheat the grill to medium-high.
• Place kabobs directly over the heat, cooking for 4-5 minutes before flipping and cooking another 4-5 minutes. See notes for cook times depending on your preference for doneness.
• Remove and let sit 5 minutes before serving.

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
• Thread steak and pineapple chunks onto metal skewers and place on the prepared sheet pan.
• Broil in the preheated oven until cooked through, turning halfway, about 15 minutes.
