Marinated Beef Kabob
October 14, 2026 • 0 comments
This recipe is for tender, flavorful beef skewers loaded with colorful vegetables. Cubes of marinated beef are threaded onto skewers alongside bell peppers, red onion, and mushrooms, creating a vibrant mix of textures and colors. The meat soaks up a savory marinade that keeps it juicy and deeply seasoned, while a quick grill or sear caramelizes the edges for a smoky, slightly charred finish. The result is a hearty, crowd-pleasing dish that’s perfect for backyard barbecues or easy weeknight meals.

Ingredients
- (1.5 pounds) Grass-fed Tri Tip Steak
- (3) Bell peppers (red, yellow, and green)
- (16) Small mushrooms, cut 1.3 inch wide
- (1) Large red onion
- (1 teaspoon) Garlic, minced
- (1 teaspoon) Onion powder (or sub with garlic powder)
- (2 1/2 tablespoons) Soy sauce
- (2 tablespoons) Worcestershire sauce
- (2 tablespoons) Balsamic vinegar
- (1 tablespoon) Vegetable oil (or other neutral flavoured oil)
- (1/4 teaspoon) Black pepper
- (16) Flat metal skewers, 10-12 inches long
- (For drizzling and cooking) Olive oil
- (For garnish) Finely chopped parsley
Directions
- Cut beef into roughly 1.3 inch cubes.
- Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl, add the beef, and let it marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 24 hours.
- Slice bell peppers and onions into similar 1.3 inch pieces.
- Thread the beef, vegetables, and mushrooms onto skewers, alternating so that each piece of beef is separated by two pieces of vegetables. Leave a little space between ingredients to ensure even cooking.
- Lightly brush the skewers with the reserved marinade, including the vegetables, and drizzle with olive oil.
- Preheat a barbecue grill or large skillet over high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil, and when it’s hot and smoking, cook the kebabs in batches for about 2 minutes per side (around 8 minutes total), brushing with marinade as they cook until slightly charred.
- Transfer cooked skewers to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and let them rest for 3 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired, and serve.
