Ingredients
Steak Kabobs
- 2 pounds thick-cut sirloin steak, diced into 1-inch chunks
- 1 medium onion, diced into 1-inch chunks
- 1 ½ cups button mushrooms
- 2 medium bell peppers, diced into 1-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic Butter Sauce
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the baking setup: Line an oven tray with foil and place a wire rack on top to allow even cooking of the kabobs under the broiler.
- Cut the steak: Dice the thick-cut sirloin steak into uniform 1-inch chunks to ensure they cook evenly and stay tender.
- Assemble the kabobs: Thread the steak pieces, diced onions, button mushrooms, and bell peppers alternately onto skewers until all ingredients are used.
- Preheat the broiler: Set your oven broiler to high temperature to get a nice sear and caramelization on the kabobs.
- Season the kabobs: Brush the assembled kabobs with olive oil and season generously with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor during cooking.
- Make the garlic butter: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with crushed garlic, lemon juice, fresh parsley, and salt and pepper to taste, creating a fragrant finishing sauce.
- Broil the kabobs: Place the prepared kabobs on the wire rack lined tray and set it high in the oven under the broiler. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes to brown one side.
- Turn the kabobs: Remove the tray carefully, flip the kabobs to the other side for even cooking and browning under the broiler.
- Continue broiling: Cook the kabobs for an additional 4 to 5 minutes until the steak is browned and vegetables are tender.
- Apply garlic butter: Remove the kabobs from the oven and immediately brush them liberally with the prepared garlic butter mixture to infuse rich flavor.
- Serve: Serve the steak kabobs hot with extra garlic butter on the side for dipping, ensuring a deliciously juicy and aromatic experience.
Notes
- Use metal or soaked wooden skewers to prevent burning under the broiler.
- Adjust cooking time slightly if the steak pieces are larger or smaller for optimal doneness.
- For added flavor, marinate the steak chunks with olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice for 30 minutes before threading.
- Serve with a side of rice, salad, or crusty bread to complete the meal.
- Make sure the broiler is preheated to ensure proper searing and caramelization.
