  • Total Time: 1 hour 37 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Steak and Vegetables

  • 2 pounds top sirloin, cut into cubes
  • 1 large red onion, cut into square pieces
  • 2 red bell peppers, cut into square pieces
  • 2 yellow squash, sliced into 1/4 inch pieces (preferably uniform in width)

Marinade

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1/3 cup soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper until smooth. This mixture will tenderize and flavor the steak perfectly.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Pour the marinade over the cubed top sirloin in a bowl. Stir well to ensure all pieces are coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 24 hours for deeper flavor penetration.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium temperature to ensure even cooking of the kabobs without burning.
  4. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the skewers by alternating pieces of marinated steak and vegetables—start with a piece of meat, then vegetables, followed by another piece of meat, continuing this pattern. Each skewer will hold about 5 pieces of meat and four sets of vegetables, resulting in approximately 10 skewers total.
  5. Grill the Kabobs: Place the assembled skewers on the preheated grill. Grill each side for about 6 minutes, using metal tongs to carefully flip the skewers to achieve even cooking and a nice char.
  6. Serve: Once cooked to your preferred doneness, remove the kabobs from the grill. Serve immediately and enjoy the smoky, juicy flavors with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • For best results, use metal skewers as they conduct heat evenly, helping the steak cook from the inside as well.
  • If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Adjust grilling time based on steak cube size and grill heat intensity.
  • These kabobs pair well with rice, grilled bread, or a fresh green salad.
  • Marinating overnight enhances flavor but a minimum of 1 hour is sufficient for tenderizing.
