Ingredients
Scale
- 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg) top sirloin or ribeye steak, cubed
- 2 large red bell peppers, quartered and chunked
- 1 large red onion, quartered and sliced
- 8–10 garlic cloves, pressed
- ⅓ cup (79 ml) avocado oil
- 2.5 tbsps (37 ml) sherry wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
- 2.5 tbsps (37 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp (15 g) coarse sea salt flakes
- 1 tsp (5 g) ground black pepper
- 1 tsp (2.5 g) garlic powder
- 1 tsp (2.5 g) onion powder
- 1.5 tbsps (7.5 g) fresh thyme
- 1.5 tbsps (7.5 g) fresh chopped rosemary
- 8–10 bamboo skewers
- Avocado Chimichurri Sauce
- Easy Oven-Roasted Potatoes
Instructions
- Preparation: Pat steak dry and slice into uniform bite-sized chunks suitable for skewering, while chopping bell peppers and red onions into consistent sizes for balanced cooking and visual appeal.
- Marinade Creation: Craft a vibrant marinade by blending avocado oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, thyme, and rosemary in a mixing bowl, thoroughly coating meat cubes and refrigerating for minimum one hour to maximize flavor infusion.
- Skewer Assembly: Soak wooden skewers in cold water, then artfully thread marinated meat and vegetables, alternating colors and ingredients for an appealing presentation.
- Grilling Technique: Ignite outdoor grill to high heat, positioning kabobs on hot grates with open lid for direct heat exposure, rotating every 3-4 minutes to ensure uniform charring and prevent burning.
- Temperature Monitoring: Cook until internal meat temperature reaches 135°F for medium doneness, typically requiring 15-16 minutes total grilling time, then remove and allow brief resting period for juice redistribution.
- Serving: Plate kabobs immediately, accompanied by complementary sides like avocado chimichurri sauce and roasted potatoes, ensuring optimal temperature and flavor intensity.
Notes
- Moisture Removal: Pat steak dry with kitchen cloth to enhance marinade absorption and ensure better searing.
- Uniform Chopping: Cut vegetables and meat into consistent sizes for even cooking and attractive presentation.
- Marinade Magic: Whisk oil, vinegar, and herbs together to deeply infuse meat with rich, complex flavors before grilling.
- Skewer Soaking: Immerse wooden skewers in water to prevent burning and potential fire hazards during high-heat grilling.
