Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound smoked beef steak, cut into 1‑inch cubes
- 1 bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons grape juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium bowl whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, grape juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the beef cubes in a zip‑top bag or shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (up to 2 hours).
- While the beef marinates, cut the bell pepper, red onion, and zucchini into uniform pieces and pat them dry.
- If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium‑high (about 400–450°F).
- Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper, onion, and zucchini, leaving small gaps between items.
- Grill the assembled skewers for 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes to achieve an even char; use a thermometer for desired doneness (130°F medium‑rare, 140°F medium, 150°F well‑done).
- Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor
- add smoked paprika to the marinade. Soak bamboo skewers to prevent burning. Use an instant‑read thermometer for precise doneness. Nutrition is approximate.
