Ingredients
- 1½ lbs sirloin steak cut into 1½-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper cut into chunks
- 1 white onion cut into chunks
- 1 cup blue potatoes or purple potatoes parboiled and halved
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Make Marinade:
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
Marinate Steak:
- Place steak cubes in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 hours).
Prepare Veggies:
- While steak marinates, parboil potatoes for 5 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.
Assemble Kebabs:
- Thread steak, red pepper, onion, and blue potatoes onto skewers in a red, white, and blue pattern.
Grill Kebabs:
- Preheat grill to medium-high. Grill kebabs for 10–12 minutes, turning every few minutes, until steak is cooked to your liking and vegetables are slightly charred.
Serve:
- Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite sides like corn on the cob or pasta salad.
Notes
- Skewer Tip: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Cook Preferences: Adjust grilling time for rare, medium, or well-done steak.
- Veggie Swap: Use mushrooms or zucchini if preferred.
- Make Ahead: Marinate meat and prep veggies ahead for quick assembly.
- Serving Idea: Drizzle with chimichurri or BBQ sauce for extra flavor.
