Beef and Vegetable Kabobs
Ready for a grilling adventure? These mouthwatering Beef and Vegetable Kabobs are not only a feast for the eyes but are also bursting with flavor. Perfect for BBQs, family gatherings, or even a quiet dinner at home, kabobs are versatile and fun to make. Let’s dive into creating this grilled masterpiece.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 8 cherry tomatoes
- 8 mushrooms, cleaned
- Marinade:
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade until well combined.
- Place the beef cubes in the marinade and gently toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to marinate, or for best results, leave overnight.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- While the grill is heating, prepare your vegetables if you haven’t already, and start assembling your kabobs. If using wooden skewers, remember to soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Thread the beef and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between the meat and veggies to create a colorful and balanced skewer.
- Place your skewers on the hot grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness.
- Brush the kabobs with the remaining marinade occasionally while they cook, turning the skewers to ensure even cooking.
- Once done, remove the kabobs from the grill, and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serving Suggestions:
Beef and Vegetable Kabobs pair well with a side of rice, a fresh salad, or even some grilled pita bread. Don’t forget to serve with extra sauces for dipping, such as tzatziki or a tangy barbecue sauce. Happy grilling!
Cooking Time: Approximately 10-15 minutes for grilling, plus marinating time.
