Grilled Beef Steak Kabobs
Between our annual 4th of July cookout and our family Sunday suppers, there’s always room for terrific barbecued entrees, like these tasty grilled Beef Steak Kabobs.
With a simple marinade for steak, these Easy Grilled Beef Kabobs make a company-worthy entree! I like to add cubes of bell pepper, mushrooms, and even onions to your skewers. These are perfect for your summer grilling menu.
Why You Must Make
This month’s Blogger CLUE theme is Grilling and Summer Barbecue. I was assigned the blog of my friend, Wendy. She is one busy lady as she and her husband live on a large acreage, raise chickens and other farm animals, and try to be as self-sustainable as possible. As I perused A Day in the Life on a Farm, my first inclination was to make her gorgeous Strawberry Cake Roll.
But I was already planning to make my Grasshopper Pie and Carrot Cake for the 4th of July, and I couldn’t justify another dessert, though I tried hard to rationalize a need for 3 sweets! I ended up making her marinated, grilled beef steak kabobs, but also worked in her wonderful Strawberry Spinach Salad, which reminded me of my mom’s version with a sweet dressing and sesame seeds.
Ingredient Notes:
- The simple steak marinade was a breeze to prepare with just Soy Sauce, Worcestershire, Olive Oil, fresh Minced Garlic (link to easy to clean garlic press), and Italian Seasoning (affiliate links).
- Both the marinade and smoke from the grill add delicious flavor to the beef. Both soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce provide umami, the savory sense of taste.
- My family enjoyed these flavors, and I appreciated an easy beef kabob recipe.
Marinated Beef Steak Kabobs Recipe
For her beef kabobs, Wendy used a steak marinade utilizing Gourmet Garden’s herbs and garlic. I am a huge fan of their products. Since I didn’t have those on hand, I used her substitutions and grilled up some mighty tasty kabobs!
Tender and flavorful, no knife was needed. I included large pieces of red bell pepper as well as the mushrooms, onions, and beef on my skewers. The results were perfectly scrumptious.
Easy Beef Kabobs
I also whipped up Wendy’s Strawberry Spinach Salad and added some slivered almonds and blue cheese to her recipe. I wanted to eat the leftovers for lunch, so some protein was essential. But certainly, feel free to leave out those ingredients or add some chicken or your favorite nut if desired. I think I’ll leave out the poppy seeds next time, but that’s just a personal preference. It was a marvelous addition to our menu along with the Easy Beef Kabobs!

That marinade sounds wonderful – and my husband would love the veggies you skewered with the meat, too.

These look awesome! I love easy to eat BBQ foods for parties, no fork/no problem 🙂 These sound scrumptious. Great choice!
Even those of us who try to avoid beef would have a hard time avoiding steak doused with soy sauce, garlic and all the other goodies on your kabob…Bet your doggy was asking for a bite, too =)
Lizzy,
These steak kabobs look delicious. My hubby would insist that I get at least a pound per person though. He’s a big eater. Plus more left overs means we can enjoy them the next day too.

Kabobs are a favorite in the summer, I love that you added mushrooms too!
