Beef Kebabs Peppers Mushrooms (Printer-friendly)

Marinated beef grilled with bell peppers, mushrooms, and onions for a delicious, easy main dish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Marinade

01 - 3 tablespoons olive oil
02 - 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
03 - 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
04 - 2 garlic cloves, minced
05 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
07 - 1/2 teaspoon salt

→ Kebabs

08 - 1.3 pounds beef sirloin or rump steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
09 - 2 large bell peppers (red and yellow), cut into 1-inch pieces
10 - 9 ounces button mushrooms, cleaned and stems trimmed
11 - 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
12 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
13 - Salt and pepper to taste

# How to Prepare:

01 - Combine all marinade ingredients in a bowl. Add beef cubes and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, up to 8 hours for optimal tenderness.
02 - Preheat the grill or broiler to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
03 - In a large bowl, toss bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onion with 2 tablespoons olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
04 - Alternate threading beef, peppers, mushrooms, and onion onto skewers evenly, ensuring balanced distribution of ingredients.
05 - Grill kebabs over medium-high heat for 10 to 15 minutes, turning occasionally, until beef reaches desired doneness and vegetables are tender with slight charring.
06 - Allow kebabs to rest for 2 minutes after grilling. Serve immediately while hot.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The marinade does all the heavy lifting, transforming ordinary beef into something impossibly juicy and flavorful.
  • Everything cooks at the same time on the grill, which means one pan and minimal cleanup.
  • You can prep everything hours ahead and just thread the skewers when guests arrive, making you look far more organized than you actually are.
02 -
  • Cut your beef into pieces that are all roughly the same size, or you'll end up with some pieces overdone while others stay rare.
  • Don't skip the marinating time, even if you're in a hurry; the difference between marinated and unmarinated beef is genuinely noticeable.
  • The grill needs to be hot enough to create a sear, which locks in juices and creates that charred exterior everyone loves.
03 -
  • If your grill isn't available, a broiler works perfectly fine; just keep the kebabs closer to the heat source and watch them so the vegetables don't dry out.
  • For medium-rare beef, aim for about 10 minutes total cooking time, which means about 2-3 minutes per side if you rotate evenly.
