    Ingredients

    Here’s a look at the simple ingredients you’ll need to make this recipe.

    Ingredients to make steak skewers on the table before preparing.
    • Sirloin Steak: You’ll need 1 ½ pounds of steak, cut into cubes.
    • Fresh Vegetables: We used a combination of bell peppers, red onion, mushrooms, zucchini, and yellow squash, but feel free to mix up the veggies if you’d like.
    • Canned Potatoes: We used canned whole potatoes instead of fresh ones to save time as they don’t need to be par-boiled first.
    • Pineapple: You’ll need half of a fresh pineapple, cut into bite-sized pieces.
    • Butter: We’re using melted butter instead of oil for the marinade.
    • Lemon Juice: Adds tanginess to the sauce. Use fresh for the best flavor.
    • Soy Sauce: Feel free to use reduced sodium if preferred. For gluten-free, use tamari instead.
    • Mustard: Adds more tanginess to the marinade. We suggest using yellow mustard for the best flavor.
    • Seasonings: We used a combination of dried chives, salt, and pepper for seasoning the marinade.
    • Skewers: You can use either metal skewers or wooden ones.  If you use wooden skewers they do need to be soaked ahead time to prevent burning.

    See the recipe card below for exact ingredient amounts, nutritional information, and detailed instructions.

    Variations

    • Add shrimp: Make steak and shrimp kabobs by making some skewers with shrimp. The shrimp skewers will take around the same time as the steak ones, about 5-6 minutes.
    • Add chicken: Make chicken and steak kabobs by making some skewers with cubed chicken breast. Note that the chicken skewers will take a little longer to cook than the steak ones, around 10-12 minutes.
    • Switch up the sauce: Save time by using a store-bought marinade such as teriyaki sauce, Italian dressing, or balsamic vinaigrette for these beef kabobs.

    How to Make Steak Kabobs

    Get started by gathering your ingredients and preheating your grill to medium-high.

    Step 1: Prep and season the beef. Cut the beef into evenly sized cubes and season with salt and pepper.

    Step 2: Make the marinade. Add all of the marinade ingredients to a small saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.

    Step 3: Assemble the skewers. Add the kabob ingredients to skewers, grouping like items together. Brush the marinade onto the prepared skewers, ensuring everything is well coated.

    Step 4: Cook the skewers. Place the skewers on the grill and cook on medium-high. Brush each skewer again with the marinade just before removing from the grill.

    Step 5: Serve. Remove everything from the skewers after cooking and transfer to a serving platter.

    Storage Directions 

    • Storing: Be sure to remove everything from the steak skewers before storing. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. .
    • Reheating: Reheat leftovers in the oven or in a skillet for best texture.
    • Freezing: Leftover steak can be frozen in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 3 months. We do not recommend freezing the other components as their texture will be compromised.
    • Make Ahead: You can prep these steak shish kabobs up to a day in advance. Clean the mushrooms, drain the canned potatoes, and chop the other vegetables, pineapple, and steak. Then store each ingredient in a separate airtight container in the fridge. The marinade for the kabobs is best made right before assembling the skewers because the melted butter will solidify in the refrigerator, affecting the overall texture of the sauce.

    Serving Suggestions

    Enjoy these grilled steak kabobs all summer long. Here are some great ways to serve them:

    • Make them for a family dinner alongside some Pressure Cooker Mashed Potatoes and Homemade Dinner Rolls.
    • Serve them at a weekend cookout with your favorite summer salads such as this summer Fresh Corn Salad and this Strawberry Caprese Salad.
    • Don’t forget the drinks! You’ll love these steak kabobs on the grill with a cold glass of this Raspberry Limeade or this Watermelon Mint Lemonade to help you beat the summer heat. 

    Expert Tips

    • Soak wooden skewers: If you are using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent the food from sticking to them while cooking. Metal skewers do not need to be soaked.
    • Skewer like ingredients together: We recommend skewering each of the ingredients separately as some items cook faster than others. This will allow everything to cook at its own pace and you can remove items as they are done.
    • Leave room between items: Leaving a small space between each piece of food helps everything cook evenly. 
    • Double the sauce: We suggest doubling the recipe for the steak kabobs marinade and reserving half for serving as a dipping sauce.

    Recipe FAQs

    What is the best steak for kabobs?

    The best steak for kabobs is top sirloin which is on the leaner side, so it won’t shrink too much during cooking. It’s also budget-friendly and easy to find at most grocery stores. New York strip is another good option.

    How long will it take to grill steak skewers?

    This depends on how you like your steak cooked. For a medium level of doneness (internal temperature of 145° F), it will take about 5 minutes to grill the steak. It will take slightly less time for rare or medium-rare and slightly longer for medium-well or well-done steak. 

    Can I make steak skewers in the oven?

    Yes, you can bake them in a 425 ° F oven instead if you’d like. Place prepared steak kabobs in oven on a rimmed baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and lightly sprayed with cooking oil and bake for 10-15 minutes.

    Can I make steak kabobs in the air fryer?

    Yes, you can make them in a 400° F preheated air fryer. Place prepared kabobs in air fryer sprayed with cooking oil and cook for 8-10 minutes. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches. You should also make sure that your skewers are small enough to fit in your air fryer first.
