Ingredients
Scale
Marinade
- 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
Beef and Vegetables
- 1 1/2 pounds top sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 large bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 – 2 medium red onions, cut into chunks
- 1/2 – 1 pound button mushrooms
- Wood or bamboo skewers (soaked in water for at least 30 minutes)
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade and marinate beef: Mix the olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, minced ginger, and freshly ground black pepper together in a bowl. Add the cubed sirloin steak to the marinade, cover, and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes; preferably several hours or overnight for best flavor.
- Soak the skewers: Soak wood or bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Prepare vegetables and assemble kebabs: Cut the bell pepper and red onions into chunks roughly the size of beef cubes. Thread the marinated beef, bell pepper, red onion, and button mushrooms alternately onto double bamboo skewers, leaving a bit of space between pieces for even grilling. Brush the kebabs with some of the leftover marinade to enhance flavor and moisture.
- Preheat grill and cook kebabs: Prepare your grill for high, direct heat. Grill the kebabs for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking, until the beef is cooked to your preferred doneness and vegetables are tender.
- Rest and serve: Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for at least 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute. Enjoy your flavorful beef kebabs!
Notes
- Marinating for several hours or overnight intensifies the flavor and tenderizes the beef.
- Using double skewers helps keep kebabs secure and makes turning on the grill easier.
- Soaking skewers prevents burning and breaking during grilling.
- Maintain a little space between items on the skewer to ensure even cooking.
- Feel free to customize vegetables based on season and preference.
- Allowing kebabs to rest before serving improves juiciness and taste.
