Marinated Beef Kabobs

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1/3 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1.75 to 2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes (excess fat trimmed)
• 3 bell peppers (cut into 1 inch squares)
• 1 large red or yellow onion (cut into 1 inch squares)
• 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms (bottoms trimmed)
• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Olive oil (as needed)

Instructions

1. 1

   Make sure you have skewers handy. You need about 6 skewers. I’d recommend using stainless steel skewers. If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes before using in order to prevent them from burning.

2. 2

   Marinate the meat: In a large resealable bag, mix all the marinade ingredients until evenly combined. Add the cubed sirloin steak and make sure it’s all well-combined. Seal the bag, removing any excess air, and let it marinate for 3-4 hours in the fridge.

3. 3

   Preheat the grill over medium-high heat.

4. 4

   Season the veggies: In a large bowl, toss the chopped bell peppers, chopped onions, and mushrooms with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt (about ½ teaspoon) and a few grinds of ground black pepper.

5. 5

   Assemble the kabobs: assemble the skewers with the marinated beef and the seasoned veggies, alternating. I use 4-5 pieces of meat per skewer. You should have about 6 skewers. Discard the marinade.

6. 6

   Grill on the preheated grill for 12 minutes total (about 3 minutes per side) for medium-rare to medium. If you want them cooked more, cook for an additional minute or so per side. Tip: check the internal temperature with a thermometer, 135 F for medium-rare, 145 F for medium, and 150 F for medium-well.

7. 7

   Let the kabobs rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve and enjoy! Recommended: serve with chimichurri sauce.
