  • Instead of sirloin steak you can use stew meat, flat iron, or ribeye.

Recipe FAQ’s

What steak is best for kabobs?

In my experience the best cut of meat for making kabobs is Sirloin. It is a naturally tender piece of meat that is lean. You want a leaner cut of meat so there are less flare ups from the fat on the meat while it is grilling.

How do you grill kabobs without burning vegetables?

To avoid burning your veggies while grilling your kabobs first soak the skewers for about 30 minutes if you are using wooden skewers. When cutting your steak and vegetables be sure to cut them into similar sizes and shapes to help the food cook evenly. Also, be sure to cut your pieces bigger than the space between the grills so they don’t fall through. 

What can I use if I don’t have skewers?

I prefer to use metal skewers but of course you can use wooden skewers as well. If you do not have either and are not able to get them you can use rosemary stalks as another option. They are just as strong as a regular skewer and can be used on the grill without an issue.

  • 1 large red onion

Instructions

PREP AND MARINATE STEAK:

  • Trim the steak of large pieces of fat. Doing so will cause fewer flareups and burnt edges.
  • Cut steak into 1-inch cubes and add them to a resealable Ziploc bag or container.
  • Pour marinade over the steak pieces, seal the bag or container, and shake the bag to distribute the marinade evenly.
  • Marinate the steak in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours before using.
  • Remove steak pieces from the marinade, discard marinade, and allow the steak to come to room temperature, about 20 minutes.

PREP GRILL & KABOBS:

  • Preheat the gas grill to medium-high heat and cover.
  • Cut vegetables into bite-size pieces, leave mushrooms whole or cut in half depending on their size.
  • Thread steak and vegetables onto skewers **see notes for each type of skewer.
  • Before putting the kabobs on the grill, scrape the grates (preferably with a bristle-less grill brush).
  • Then, soak two pieces of paper towel with vegetable oil. Oil the grill grates with the paper towel.

GRILL KABOBS:

  • Place kabobs onto the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Remove the kabobs from the grill and serve immediately.

Notes

  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using them.
  • If using metal skewers, handle them with care using hot pads when they come off the grill.
