→ For Grilling
16 - Wooden or metal skewers (if using wooden, soak in water 30 minutes)
# How To Make:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
02 - Add the steak cubes to the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes, or up to 2 hours for optimal flavor development.
03 - Thread the marinated steak cubes and prepared vegetables alternately onto the skewers, distributing ingredients evenly across each skewer.
04 - Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
05 - Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes, turning every 2 to 3 minutes, until the steak reaches your desired doneness and the vegetables are lightly charred.
06 - Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The marinade does all the heavy lifting, so you look like a genius with almost zero effort.
- Everything cooks on one stick, which means fewer dishes and more time to actually enjoy your guests.
02 -
- I once pulled skewers off too early because I was hungry and the meat was still gray inside, patience really matters here.
- Soak those wooden skewers for the full 30 minutes or you will be fishing burnt sticks off the grill.
03 -
- Cut all your vegetables the same size as the steak cubes so nothing overcooks while waiting for something else to catch up.
- Save a spoonful of marinade before the raw meat goes in and brush it on the vegetables as they grill for an extra layer of flavor.
