how to make Steak Kabobs with Garlic Butter
Making steak kabobs with garlic butter is straightforward. You’ll start by marinating the steak to infuse it with flavor, and then you’ll assemble the skewers with your choice of vegetables. Once they are ready, grilling them will make the steak tender and the vegetables perfectly charred. Finally, finishing them off with garlic butter will elevate the dish to a new level of deliciousness.
Ingredients:
- 2 lb sirloin steak (cut into 1.5-inch cubes)
- 2 bell peppers (cut into chunks)
- 1 red onion (cut into chunks)
- 8 oz mushrooms
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 3 garlic (minced for marinade)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 0.5 cup butter (melted)
- 4 garlic (minced for garlic butter)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- Metal or soaked wooden skewers
Directions:
-
Marinate the steak: In a bowl, mix olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add the steak cubes and stir to coat them well. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
-
Assemble the kabobs: After marinating, thread the steak, bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms onto the skewers, alternating the ingredients as you go.
-
Grill and cook: Preheat your grill over medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
-
Finish with garlic butter: While the kabobs are grilling, mix melted butter with minced garlic and chopped parsley in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the kabobs in the last few minutes of grilling for added flavor.
