Ingredients
Scale
- 750g (1.5 lb) beef tri-tip sirloin steak tips or other steak cut
- 3 bell peppers (1 red, 1 yellow, 1 green)
- 1 large red onion
- 16 small mushrooms (around 3.25cm / 1.3″ wide)
- 1 tsp minced garlic (or 2 large garlic cloves)
- 1 tsp onion powder (or garlic powder)
- 2 ½ tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Olive oil for drizzling and cooking
- Finely chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Cut the beef into 3.25cm (1.3 inches) cubes and set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together garlic, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, vegetable oil, onion powder, and black pepper to make the marinade.
- Add beef cubes to the marinade, stir to coat, cover, and let marinate for at least 20 minutes (up to 24 hours in the fridge).
- While marinating, cut bell peppers and onion into 3.25cm (1.3 inches) pieces and clean the mushrooms.
- Thread beef, bell peppers, onion, and mushrooms alternately onto skewers, leaving slight gaps for even cooking.
- Preheat grill or skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil if using skillet. Cook kabobs for about 2 minutes per side (8 minutes total), turning to char all sides. Baste with leftover marinade.
- Transfer cooked kabobs to a plate, cover loosely with foil, and rest for 3 minutes.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
- Use metal skewers or soak wooden ones for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Don’t overcrowd skewers to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate longer for more tender and flavorful beef.
- Pair with rice, couscous, pita, or fresh salads for a full meal.
