Ingredients for Steak Kabobs

The marinade for this dish is both simple and flavorful!

Steak – Use your favorite steak in this recipe. Try any type of sirloin or a flavorful ribeye for a richer taste.

Marinade – While butter adds flavor and promotes browning, olive oil helps with the consistency of the marinade. Lemon juice and tomato paste have a double duty in this recipe, both tenderizing the steak and adding flavor.

Garlic Butter – The parsley garlic butter in this recipe take it to the next level, so make sure you don’t skip it!

Variations – Vegetables can be added to these kabobs like mushrooms, bell pepper, or cherry tomatoes. To change up the marinade, stir in a tablespoon of soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce or Dijon mustard.

2. Preheat the oven to 350°F, and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Tips for the Best Kebabs

• If using wooden skewers, just be sure to soak them in water before using them 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.
• Metal skewers will be hot, use caution when serving.
• Don’t skip resting the meat before serving.

How to Use Leftovers

Fridge: If there are any leftovers, they will keep for 3-4 days in the refrigerator in a covered container.

This steak kabob recipe is great added to a chef’s salad or steak salad. Or simply warm the skewers up in an air fryer or frying pan.

Frozen: Once cooked, steak can maintain its delicious flavor for around 2-3 months when frozen in the freezer.
