  • 2 1/2 tbsp sherry wine vinegar, or balsamic vinegar
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp coarse sea salt flakes
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper

  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh thyme

Instructions

Preparing the Meat & Veggies:

  • You’ll want to start this recipe for grilled steak kabobs with the steak! I purchased my top sirloin at the meat counter as they typically don’t have it out in the aisle.
  • Pat your steaks dry with paper towels, then place onto a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, cube the steak into large chunks, about 1 ½-inches in size. Larger pieces will cook more evenly and stay juicier.
  • Place the cubed steak pieces into a large casserole tray.
  • Next, prepare the pepper and onion. Section the pepper into quarters, then cut into large chunks, and set into a separate tray from the beef.
  • Quarter the large onion, then slice into large chunks, too. Keep the onion with the peppers.

Making the Marinade:

  • Next, make the marinade: In a large measuring cup, measuring out the avocado oil and add in the sherry wine vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Next, add in the salt and ground black pepper.
  • Mix in the garlic powder, onion powder, fresh thyme, fresh chopped rosemary, and pressed garlic. Use a whisk to mix everything together.

Marinating Instructions:

  • Pour all the prepared marinade over the cubed steak pieces, then use your hands to massage the marinade into the meat, making sure it’s well coated all over.
  • Cover the tray with plastic wrap and marinate the beef for at least 1 hour, or overnight (but no longer) for best results. The longer you can let the beef marinate, the better, as this will allow the flavors to really sink in.
  •  While the beef is marinating, make sure to soak your bamboo skewers in water! You can also make my ‘Oven Roasted Potatoes’ and ‘Chimichurri Sauce’ at this time.

Making & Grilling the Kabobs:

  • When you’re ready to enjoy your steak kabobs, you’ll first want to preheat your outdoor grill. I turn mine on to ‘high’ heat and let it preheat for 10 to 15 minutes before using it. You want the grill grates to be extra hot!
  • Remove the marinated beef from the refrigerated and skewer it onto the bamboo skewers, alternating with chunks of bell pepper and red onion. Don’t squeeze the meat together too tightly! I got about 8 skewers with this recipe.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush on any remaining marinade back onto the kabobs.
  • Place the kabobs onto your preheated grill, spacing them at least a few inches apart. Grill the kabobs with the lid open, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the kabobs are well grilled all over.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. I like to cook mine to a medium doneness, about 135F, which usually takes about 15 to 16 minutes. The timing will vary and depends on the size of your steak cubes!

Serving Suggestions:

  • Remove the beef kabobs from the grill and onto a clean tray to rest for at least 10 minutes before enjoying with potatoes and sauce.
