Ingredients for Great Steak Kabobs

For the Marinade

  • Oil: Essential for ensuring the marinade coats the meat evenly and as a base for the marinade. Choose a mild-flavored oil.
  • Worcestershire Sauce and Soy Sauce: These add umami, salt, and help tenderize the meat.
  • Dijon Mustard and Garlic: A perfect duo for a bright and bold punch of flavor that pairs well with steak.
    • Tip: If you’re running low on Worcestershire or soy sauce, use Balsamic vinegar in place. And if Dijon isn’t available, any mustard variety will do—just adjust to your liking.
  • Seasoning: A little rosemary, salt & black pepper is all that’s needed.

For the Kabobs

Meat – Top sirloin steak, strip loin, tenderloin, or ribeye steaks are excellent for kabobs! Less expensive, tougher cuts of meat like a chuck roast take longer to tenderize, but can be marinated longer for juicy results!

Vegetables – Besides peppers, onions, and mushrooms, thick coins or chunks of zucchini, par-cooked baby potatoes or corn, cherry tomatoes, and even thick cubes of bread are great on skewers!

Variations – Punch up the marinade with a splash or two of Tabasco or Sriracha or add some homemade blackened seasoning. Whisk in some plain Greek yogurt in step 1 for a thicker, creamier marinade.

Tips for Marinating Steak

  • Do not marinate in a metal bowl, use a glass bowl or marinate the steak kabobs in a zippered bag with the air squeezed out for even distribution of marinade.
  • Marinate for at least 1 hour for tender beef kabobs but not more than 4 hours. Marinating too long can break down the meat too much making mushy steak kabobs.
  • Discard leftover marinade.
  • For best results, store leftover steak kabobs by removing them from the skewers before chilling. Refrigerate in an air tight bag for in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
