Ingredients
Scale
Beef & Marinade
- 2 lb Beef tenderloin or top sirloin steaks, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup Olive oil
- 3 tbsp Lemon juice
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Black pepper
Vegetables
- 3 medium Bell peppers, any color, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares
- 1 large Red onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch square petals
- 1 lb Zucchini, cut into 3/8-inch rounds
- 1 lb Cremini mushrooms, whole
Instructions
- Pat dry the beef: Use paper towels to thoroughly pat the beef cubes dry. This helps the marinade adhere better and promotes even cooking.
- Prepare the marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate the beef: Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss with tongs to coat evenly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. If marinating longer than 2 hours, keep refrigerated. Remove the beef from the fridge 30 minutes before grilling to come to room temperature.
- Preheat the grill: Heat your grill over medium-high for at least 10 minutes to ensure it is hot enough for good searing.
- Assemble skewers: Thread the marinated beef cubes and vegetables (bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, cremini mushrooms) alternately onto bamboo or metal skewers. Brush any remaining marinade from the bowl over the prepared skewers for extra flavor.
- Grill the kabobs: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes to brown all sides evenly. Cook to your desired beef doneness.
Notes
- Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent burning on the grill.
- Adjust grilling time based on beef thickness and preferred doneness.
- Use tongs to turn kabobs gently to keep the pieces from sliding off.
- Vegetables can be swapped or omitted based on personal preference.
