These Steak Kabobs make the perfect Summer meal! The sirloin gets marinated overnight until it is super tender then grilled with veggies and onions! This is such an easy and healthy summer dinner recipe, perfect for cookouts or even a low-carb weeknight family meal!

This is a simple, fast, and easy recipe I love to throw together for cookouts every summer. Whipping up the marinade the night before takes no time at all, and then cooking the steak kabobs on the grill the next day can be done in less than 10 minutes!

They are perfect as a main dish with a few vegetable side dishes, or as an appetizer, while you’re waiting for your dinner to cook. These Steak Kabobs are naturally gluten-free and low-carb. Perfect for many different diets which can be a challenge when cooking for a crowd!

Kelley’s Tips

Tips Before You Get Started

Choose the right cut of meat: Sirloin is the best steak to use for kabobs as it’s easy to cut, cooks quickly, and is nice and tender making it easier to bite and chew. It also takes on the flavors of the marinade beautifully!
Soak the skewers in water to stop them from burning. You can also do this overnight or 30 minutes before cooking. Disregard if you are using metal skewers.
Cut vegetables into large chunks: I recommend cutting them into large pieces so that they don’t fall or get stuck between the grill gates. I usually make them about the same width as the steak which is about an inch or so.
You can add other vegetables onto the skewers like zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, mushrooms, and even pineapple.
Turn leftovers in beef fried rice! Just chop up the beef and veggies and stir fry with some rice!

What ingredients do I need for these grilled sirloin steak kabobs:

Sirloin steak: It’s the best cut of beef for kabobs because it’s so tender and easy to cut into bite-sized pieces.
Vegetables: I used green, red, and yellow bell peppers, as well as a red onion – simple, healthy vegetables that are packed with nutrition and flavor.
Marinade: This steak kabob marinade is a mixture of sauces and spices, including soy sauce, bbq sauce, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and also Italian seasoning.

How to Grill Steak Kabobs

The night before (or at least 2 hours before):

Cut the meat and veggies into bite-sized pieces.

Marinate the skewers in soy sauce, barbecue sauce, red wine vinegar, oil, dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. It’s the perfect combination of tangy and sweet.

When you’re ready to cook:

When you are ready to eat preheat the grill to 425 degrees and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Thread the steak, peppers, and onions onto the skewers.

threading beef and vegetables onto wooden skewers

Grill skewers for 6-8 minutes or until your desired doneness. They don’t take long at all!

Serve immediately with parsley for serving, if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are Kabobs?

Kabobs (or Kebabs) are small pieces of meat and vegetables cooked on a skewer over a fire. They originate in the Middle East but are found in so many different countries including Africa, India, Greece, and Turkey. They can be made with different meats – usually beef, chicken, fish or lamb/goat, and sometimes pork too.

How do I store Steak Kabobs?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat cook on the grill, in the microwave, or in the oven before consuming.

How long to grill Steak Kabobs

It will take about 2 minutes on each side on a high-heat grill to get that perfect medium-rare steak. The Grilled Steak kabobs will be nicely browned on the outside, and juicy pink on the inside. Grill for longer if you don’t want any pink!

How do I cook these without a grill?

No grill? No problem! Simply cook the kabobs in a 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes! I recommend broiling after for a couple of minutes to mimic the char from the grill!
