Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk
- Cutting board & knife
- Skewers (metal or soaked wooden)
- Grill or grill pan
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lbs steak (sirloin or ribeye), cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 bell peppers, chopped into chunks
- 1 large red onion, cut into wedges
- 8 oz mushrooms, halved
- ½ cup soy sauce
- 3 tbsp vinegar (balsamic or red wine)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Marinade: In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, honey, Worcestershire, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Marinate Steak: Add steak cubes, cover, and refrigerate for 1–8 hours.
- Prep Vegetables: Chop peppers, onions, and mushrooms into even pieces.
- Assemble Kebabs: Thread steak and vegetables alternately onto skewers.
- Grill: Preheat grill to medium-high. Cook kebabs for 8–12 minutes, turning occasionally, until steak reaches desired doneness.
- Rest & Serve: Remove from grill, let rest for 5 minutes, and serve hot with sides.
Notes
- Marinate steak for at least 1 hour for maximum flavor.
- Soak wooden skewers for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Don’t overcrowd the grill—leave space for proper searing.
- Rest kebabs before serving to keep steak juicy.
- Try variations: teriyaki with pineapple, Mediterranean with tzatziki, or surf-and-turf with shrimp.
