→ Skewers
15 - 8 wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soaked in water 30 min)
# How to Make It:
01 - In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, smoked paprika, black pepper, and dried thyme until well combined.
02 - Add the steak cubes to the bowl and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours for maximum flavor absorption.
03 - Prepare your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F to ensure proper searing.
04 - Thread the marinated steak cubes, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion wedges, and mushrooms alternately onto the skewers, distributing ingredients evenly.
05 - Place kebabs on the preheated grill and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, rotating every 2 to 3 minutes, until steak reaches desired doneness and vegetables display light char marks.
06 - Remove kebabs from heat and let rest for 5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, ensuring tender, juicy results.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The marinade transforms already good steak into something people cant stop talking about
- Everything cooks on one skewer so you get meat and vegetables perfectly charred together
02 -
- Thread everything fairly snug but not pressed tight so the heat can circulate and cook everything evenly
- Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes or they will burn to ash on the grill
03 -
- Leave a tiny bit of space between ingredients on the skewer so heat can reach all sides
- Use two skewers parallel for each kebab to prevent ingredients from spinning when you flip them
