Equipment

  • 8 kebab skewers metal or wood
  • knife

Ingredients

Marinade

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup soy sauce, low sodium
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • 3 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 tablespoon honey
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper, course

Kebabs

  • 1 ½ lb beef, cut into 1 ¼ cubes
  • 2 bell peppers, different colors, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, large, cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 4 oz baby bella mushrooms, or button mushrooms

Instructions

Marinate the beef

  • In a large bowl whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, garlic, and pepper.
  • Add in the beef and mix until the beef is coated. Cover with plastic wrap and sit in the fridge for at least1 hour or up to 24 hours. 
  • Remove from the fridge before preheating your grill. 
    Preheat your grill to high heat. You are aiming for about 425 F in your grill. 
  • While your grill heats, make the kebabs by placing about 2 pieces of veggies in between each chunk of beef. Reserve the marinade for basting. 
  • Place the kebabs on the grill and baste with the marinade generously. Close the lid and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Flip and baste every 2 minutes, so you cook all the sides of your beef. About 8 minutes in total to get to a medium steak inside.
  • Cook longer or shorter depending on how done you want your steak.
  • Remove from the grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
