Be ready to share the recipe because friends, neighbors, and family members will be clamoring to know what’s in the marinade and why the juicy bites of steak and veggies are just so dang good!

What You Need to Make Kabobs
You likely already have everything you need for the marinade in your pantry and fridge already.
Beef Kabob Marinade Ingredients
To make the beef kabob marinade, just combine:
Worcestershire sauce soy sauce olive oil mustard garlic brown sugar lemon juice basil parsley pepper
Vegetable Kabob Options:
When it comes to adding things besides meat onto the skewers, I like to pick anywhere from 3-5 options from the following list:
red, green, yellow, or orange bell peppers red or yellow onions crimini or white button mushrooms zucchini sliced into discs baby red or yukon gold potatoes that have been boiled just until tender cherry tomatoes yellow squash pineapple chunks
What is the best meat to use for kabobs?
A good sirloin steak is my choice of meat for beef kabobs. It’s actually a tougher cut of meat that is a little less expensive that other cuts, but by cubing it into 1″ cubes, marinating it in this super flavorful beef kabob marinade, and then grilling over high heat, it actually comes out juicy and tender, despite being fairly lean to begin with. Just try to be sure your cubes of steak are all about the same size so that they cook evenly on the grill.
How long to marinate meat before grilling kabobs?
You will want to marinate the cubed meat for anywhere from 1 to 6 hours. And it’s a good idea to stick your wooden skewers in a shallow pan of water at the same time you set your meat in the fridge to marinate so they won’t burn up on the grill. They really only need about 30 minutes, but I always forget unless I do this step while I’m prepping the meat.
