Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb (454 g) beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 3 tbsps (45 g) butter
- 1 green bell pepper, seeded, cored, and diced into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup (150 g) mushrooms
- 2 tsps (10 mL) olive oil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) chopped parsley
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Transform steak into uniform cubes, ensuring consistent size for even cooking and optimal flavor penetration.
- Marinade Creation: Craft a robust flavor base by whisking melted butter with finely minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl.
- Meat Infusion: Submerge steak cubes completely in the aromatic marinade, allowing a minimum 30-minute flavor absorption period.
- Skewer Assembly: Artfully thread marinated meat onto skewers, interspersing with bell pepper and onion chunks to create a visually appealing and flavor-balanced composition.
- Grilling Technique: Heat grill or grill pan to high temperature, strategically positioning kabobs to achieve caramelized exterior while preserving juicy interior.
- Cooking Process: Sear kabobs for 3-4 minutes per side, rotating to develop a perfect char and reach desired doneness, monitoring closely for optimal results.
- Resting and Finishing: Remove from heat, let kabobs rest briefly to redistribute internal juices, then elevate presentation by garnishing with fresh parsley and a drizzle of remaining garlic butter sauce.
Notes
- Marinate Strategically: Submerge steak cubes completely for 30-45 minutes to maximize flavor absorption and tenderize the meat.
- Cut Consistently: Slice steak into uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking and prevent some pieces from becoming overdone or undercooked.
- Skewer Smartly: Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before threading to prevent burning and potential fire hazards during grilling.
- Rest and Redistribute: Allow kabobs to rest 2-3 minutes after grilling, which helps meat juices redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful bites.
