Grilled Garlic Steak Kabobs

There are so many reasons to love kabobs!

This recipe is a true main dish, made with simple red onion between lots of juicy bites of steak!
This dish goes well with grilled vegetables or even potato packets, a whole meal on the BBQ!
The simple marinade works well on other meats such as shrimp (only marinate a short time), so why not make some surf n’ turf?

Ingredients assembled to make Garlic Steak Kabobs

Ingredients/Variations

The marinade for this dish is both simple and flavorful!

STEAK Use sirloin steak cubes, or for something super special go for ribeye. Kabobs don’t need the most expensive cut of meat, the marinade helps to tenderize it!

MARINADE Butter adds flavor and brows well while olive oil keeps the consistency of the marinade. Lemon juice and tomato paste both tenderize and add amazing flavor.

GARNISH Don’t skip the fresh parsley butter garnish! It really adds extra flavor and color, and there’s nothing like fresh parsley and melted butter drizzled on freshly grilled steak. Yum!

No Grill? No Problem!

This recipe is as easy as anything to bake in the oven, too. Here’s the simple method:

Prepare the recipe below as directed.
Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook kebabs for 20-30 minutes, turning once.
Rest meat for at least 5 minutes to seal in the juices. Drizzle with extra melted butter & parsley before serving.

For medium-rare steak, cook until internal temperature is 135°F, for medium it should be 145°F, and for well-done 150°F.

Tips for the Best Kebabs

If using wooden skewers, just be sure to soak them in water before using, to prevent the wood from burning. It makes all the difference!
Take the skewers off of the grill a few degrees before you reach the desired temperature, the temperature will continue to rise as they rest.
Don’t skip resting the meat before serving.

How to Use Leftovers

If there are any leftovers, they will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.

They taste great chopped or sliced into a chef’s salad or steak salad. Or simply warm the skewers up in an air fryer or frying pan. It also tastes great added to Quick & Easy Beef Stroganoff or Steak Tacos.

Frozen cooked steak will maintain flavor for 2-3 months in the freezer.
