Servings: 4 servings
Course: Main Course

Ingredients
  

For the marinade:
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
For the kabobs:
  • pounds top sirloin steak, cut into 1¼-inch cubes
  • 2 bell peppers, cut into chunks
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 8 ounces mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • 8 metal skewers or soaked wooden skewers

Method
 

  1. Cut the steak: Pat steak dry, then cut into even 1¼-inch cubes so the pieces cook at the same pace.
  2. Make the marinade: Whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, vinegar, honey, garlic, Dijon, smoked paprika, oregano, and black pepper. Reserve a few tablespoons before adding raw beef if you want extra brushing sauce.
  3. Marinate the beef: Add steak cubes to a zip-top bag or shallow container. Pour in the marinade, coat well, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or 3–6 hours for deeper flavor.
  4. Prep the vegetables: Cut peppers, onions, and mushrooms into pieces close to the steak size. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Thread the kabobs: Alternate steak and vegetables on skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces so they sear instead of steam.
  6. Grill and rest: Grill over medium-high heat, about 400–425°F, for 8–15 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes. Cook to your preferred doneness, then rest for 5 minutes before serving.
