Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Steak of choice: Use cuts like sirloin or flank for great flavor and tenderness.
• Bell peppers: Choose colorful bell peppers for visual appeal and sweetness.
• Red onion: Adds a sharp bite and sweetness when grilled until caramelized.
• Zucchini: Slice into thick rounds to add moisture and crispness.
• Olive oil: A good drizzle enhances flavors while keeping the meat moist.
• Garlic powder: Adds depth without overpowering the natural flavors of the meat.
• Salt and pepper: Essential seasonings to bring out all those delectable flavors.
• Lemon juice: A splash brightens everything up and adds a zesty kick.

The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.

Let’s Make it Together

Prep Your Ingredients: Start by washing your vegetables thoroughly. Chop bell peppers and zucchini into bite-sized pieces while dicing red onions into chunks that won’t fall off the skewer.

Marinate the Steak: Cut your chosen steak into equal cubes for even cooking. In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and lemon juice before adding the beef cubes. Allow them to soak in those delicious flavors for at least 30 minutes.

Create Colorful Skewers: Grab some skewers (soak wooden ones in water beforehand), then alternate threading pieces of marinated beef with vibrant veggie chunks. Aim for an eye-catching pattern—your guests will appreciate it more!

Preheat Your Grill: Fire up your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. If using gas, preheat for about 10 minutes; charcoal should be ashed over before placing skewers down.

Grill Those Kebabs: Place your prepared skewers on the hot grill. Cook for about 8-10 minutes total, turning halfway through until you see beautiful grill marks and your desired doneness.

Savor Every Bite: Once cooked through (or slightly pink if you prefer), remove them from heat and let rest for a few moments before serving. Trust me; this will elevate their flavor even further!

Enjoying these grilled steak kebabs is more than just eating; it’s about sharing laughter and creating memories around the table! Pair them with a side salad or rice pilaf for an unforgettable meal experience!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by marinating your steak for at least an hour, then prepare the veggies while the grill heats up. Thread everything onto skewers before grilling to ensure even cooking.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to swap out the bell peppers for zucchini or mushrooms. Experiment with different marinades like teriyaki or chimichurri to customize flavors that excite your palate.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover kebabs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat on a skillet over medium heat to maintain juiciness without drying them out.

When I first made grilled steak kebabs for my family, they were raving about how tender and flavorful they turned out—it turned into my go-to summer dish!
