• Skewered and grilled to perfection

These Grilled Beef Kebabs are one of those recipes that always can make you look like a backyard pro, even though they’re actually super simple to throw together. You get tender, flavorful chunks of sirloin steak with grilled bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms that cook to juicy perfection. Whether it’s a casual cookout or a weeknight dinner, this recipe always earns a spot on the grill.

What really takes the flavors to the next level is my marinade. It’s a tasty blend of balsamic vinegar, garlic, and olive oil that soaks into the meat and gives it that perfect balance of tang and richness. I love that I can prep everything ahead of time, then just skewer and grill when I’m ready.

I don't know about you, but I think everything tastes better on a skewer! For a delicious veggie version that you can make in your air fryer, be sure to check out my Air Fryer Veggie Kebabs.

🔪 How to Make Beef Shish Kebabs

Add the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, grated garlic, dried oregano, salt and ground black pepper to a mixing cup.

Whisk to combine, then set aside.

Cut your sirloin steak into small cubes.

Add the steak to a food storage bag, then pour the marinade over the top.

Seal up the bag, toss to combine, making sure all pieces are coated in the marinade and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.

Cut your peppers and onion into pieces similar to the size of the steak cubes. You can leave the mushrooms whole, but if they are too large, cut them in half.

Preheat your outdoor grill or grill pan.

Take the steak, mushrooms, peppers, red onion and skewer them in alternating layers.

Grill for several minutes on each side or until the steak is cooked to your liking, then serve.

💡 Tips

• Let the sirloin steak marinate for at least an hour so it can soak up all that garlicky balsamic flavor.

• Cut your steak and veggies into similar-sized pieces so they cook evenly on the skewers.

• If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes so they don’t burn on the grill.

• Preheat the grill before placing kebabs on it. You want a good sizzle when they hit the grates.

• Don’t overpack the skewers. Leave a little space between each piece so everything cooks properly.

• Turn the kebabs every few minutes so they brown evenly on all sides.

• Use tongs to flip instead of a fork to avoid losing all that delicious juice.

• Let the grilled beef kebabs rest for a few minutes before serving so the juices can redistribute.

☑️ Storage Instructions

Store leftover steak kebabs in an airtight container for up to 4 days. You can also remove the meat and veggies from the skewers to make storage easier.

If freezing leftover cooked kebabs, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month or two. When ready to enjoy again, just thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating and serving.

🍴 What to Serve with Steak Skewers

• Air Fryer Acorn Squash
• Wedge Salad
• Creamed Spinach
• Cheesy Roasted Asparagus
• Grilled Broccolini
• Green Beans Almondine

🔄 Substitutions and Additions

• Steak: Swap the sirloin with ribeye or even chunks of chuck roast if you prefer a richer cut.

• Veggies: Add chunks of zucchini or yellow squash to the skewers for more veggie variety. Try adding cherry tomatoes for a burst of sweetness and color.

• Marinade: Use soy sauce in the marinade for a deeper flavor if you want an Asian twist.

• Spice: Add a little crushed red pepper for heat or lemon juice for brightness.

• Garnish: Sprinkle them with chopped fresh parsley or cilantro right before serving for a pop of color.

• Mushroom swaps: If you’re not a fan of mushrooms, use cubes of eggplant or even baby potatoes instead.

• Dipping sauce: Serve with a side of chipotle aioli, chimichurri, or tzatziki.

Why is My Steak Tough After Grilling?

Overcooking can make sirloin dry out quickly. Aim for medium or medium rare and let the steak rest before serving.

Can I Use a Different Cut of Meat?

Yes, you can try ribeye for more marbling or even chuck roast meat, though you’ll want to marinate it longer.

How Do I Keep the Vegetables From Falling Apart on the Grill?

Cut them into larger chunks and don’t overcook. Using metal skewers can also help hold everything in place.

Can I Bake These Skewers Instead of Grilling?

Yes, just lay the skewers on a foil-lined baking sheet and roast at 425°F, turning once halfway through.

How Long Do I Grill Steak Kebabs?

Usually about 8 to 10 minutes total, turning every couple of minutes until the steak reaches your desired doneness.
