Ingredients
  

  • Sirloin steak, 1 pound, cut into 1¼-inch cubes
  • Red onion, 1 small, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Bell peppers, 2 medium, any color, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Soy sauce, 3 tablespoons (use low-sodium if preferred)
  • Apple cider vinegar, 3 tablespoons (instead of red wine vinegar)
  • Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons (ensure anchovy-free for halal)
  • Garlic powder, 1 teaspoon
  • Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon
  • Black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Mix the Marinade
  2. Combine soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper in a large bowl
  3. Marinate the Meat
  4. Submerge sirloin cubes in the marinade, cover, and chill for 30 minutes to 2 hours
  5. Prepare Skewers
  6. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30+ minutes if using
  7. Assemble Kebabs
  8. Alternate beef, red onion, and bell pepper pieces on skewers, leaving 1/8 inch of space between ingredients
  9. Grill to Perfection
  10. Heat grill to medium-high. Sear beef skewers first to create char rings, then add vegetable skewers. Turn skewers every 2-3 minutes until beef is cooked through (internal temperature of 145°F) and vegetables are tender

Notes

For leaner kebabs, trim excess sirloin fat before marinating
Green onions can replace red onions for a milder flavor
Add garlic cloves to the marinade for extra depth
Double the marinade and skewer quantities for parties
Avoid using metal skewers for even cooking if using wood
