How to Make Steak Kabobs

Make Marinade

To a gallon-sized freezer bag, add steak, garlic, soy sauce, oil, Worcestershire, honey, onion powder, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Press air out, seal, and toss to combine.

Marinate Steak

Place the bag in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and up to 8 hours to marinate. Tip: Set the bag in a dish in case there are any leaks. Meanwhile, if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.

Prep the Grill

Clean and preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat (around 350°-400°F).

Build Kabobs

Build the kabobs in a 9×13-inch baking dish to contain the mess. Thread a piece of onion, bell pepper, and beef onto the skewers, repeating until the skewer is mostly filled. (You’ll end up with about 3 pieces of meat per skewer.) Leave a little space between each ingredient so they grill evenly. Pour the rest of the marinade over the kabobs to coat the veggies.

Grill Kabobs: Grill the kabobs, turning frequently, until the vegetables are tender and the beef is seared on all sides and cooked to desired doneness*, about 8-10 minutes. (Be sure to discard the marinade.) Let rest for 5 minutes.

When Is Steak Done Cooking?

When cooking steak kabobs, the internal temperature of the steak is important when determining when it’s fully cooked. The recommended internal temperature for steak kabobs depends on the level of doneness you prefer:

Rare: The internal temperature should reach around 125°F (51°C) with a bright red center.
Medium-rare: The internal temperature should reach approximately 135°F (57°C) with a warm red center.
Medium: The internal temperature should reach around 145°F (63°C) with a pink center.
Medium-well: The internal temperature should reach approximately 155°F (68°C) with a slightly pink center.
Well done: The internal temperature should reach around 160°F (71°C) with no pink, fully cooked throughout.

Keep in mind that your steak will rise a few degrees even after pulling it off the grill, so remove kabobs just a few degrees shy of your preferred doneness temp. Be sure to use an internal meat thermometer to help you determine doneness!

Can You Freeze Steak Kabobs?

Great question! If you want to make this a freezer meal, we recommend freezing the cut up, uncooked steak in the marinade without the veggies.

Because of the high water content in the bell peppers and onions, they won’t hold up well on a skewer after being frozen and thawed.

To prepare, simply thaw the steak using one of our safe thawing methods and then add them to the skewers with fresh veggies.
