Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into cubes
- 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 onion, cut into chunks
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the marinade by whisking together olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
- Cut sirloin steak into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking. Place steak cubes into marinade and let sit for 10-15 minutes at room temperature.
- While steak marinates, chop bell pepper, onion, and zucchini into similar-sized chunks to promote consistent grilling.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400-450°F. Clean and oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Thread marinated steak and vegetable chunks alternately onto skewers, leaving small spaces between ingredients for even heat distribution.
- Place kebabs on preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, rotating to achieve nice char marks and desired doneness.
- Check internal temperature of steak; aim for 135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
- Remove kebabs from grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro.
Tips
- Marinate with Purpose: Let your steak sit in the marinade for at least 10-15 minutes to enhance flavor and tenderness.
- Size Matters: Cut your steak and vegetables into uniform chunks to ensure even cooking and attractive presentation.
- Skewer Strategy: Leave small spaces between ingredients on the skewer to allow heat to circulate and promote even grilling.
- Wooden Skewer Hack: Always soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Temperature is Key: Use a meat thermometer to check steak doneness—135°F for medium-rare or 145°F for medium.
- Rest and Relax: After grilling, let your kebabs rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Garnish for Glamour: Sprinkle fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for a pop of color and extra flavor dimension.
