Description
Follow these steps to prepare flavorful steak kabobs using a simple balsamic and garlic marinade, paired with seasonal vegetables for grilling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, whole or halved
- 12 wooden or metal skewers (if using wood, soak for 30 minutes)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the balsamic vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, oregano, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the cubed steak into a resealable bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring all pieces are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or up to 6 hours.
- Remove the steak from the marinade, discarding the excess liquid.
- Thread the steak cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Try to keep the pieces relatively uniform in size for even cooking.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C). Lightly oil the grates.
- Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, turning carefully, until the steak reaches your desired doneness (130°F for medium-rare).
- Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use sirloin or tenderloin for the best texture when skewering.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before use to prevent burning on the grill.
- Do not pack the ingredients too tightly on the skewers; leave a small space between pieces so heat circulates.
