Ingredients
Scale
Marinade and Meat
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 1/2 pounds top sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
Vegetables
- 1 large bell pepper
- 1 – 2 medium red onions
- 1/2 – 1 pound button mushrooms
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade and Meat. In a bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and freshly ground black pepper. Add the top sirloin cubes, mix well to coat, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, preferably several hours or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Soak the Skewers. Soak wood or bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
- Prepare the Vegetables and Assemble Kebabs. Cut the bell pepper, red onions, and button mushrooms into chunks roughly the same size as the beef cubes. Thread the meat and vegetables alternately onto double bamboo skewers, leaving a little space between each piece to ensure even cooking. Use double skewers for easier turning on the grill. Brush the assembled kebabs with some of the reserved marinade to enhance flavor.
- Preheat the Grill. Prepare the grill for high, direct heat to sear the kebabs properly.
- Grill the Kebabs. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to brown evenly and achieve the desired doneness of the meat.
- Rest Before Serving. Remove the kebabs from the grill and allow them to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving to retain juices and enhance the flavor.
Notes
- Whether referred to as kabobs, kebabs, or shish kabobs, grilling these marinated beef and vegetable skewers is a summer classic.
- Marinating the sirloin for several hours or overnight deepens the flavor and tenderizes the meat.
- Using double skewers helps keep pieces stable and makes it easier to turn the kebabs on the grill.
- Soaking the skewers in water prevents burning during grilling.
- Leaving space between pieces ensures even cooking and prevents steaming.
