Our most flavorful and tender steak kebabs recipe yet! My sister Sveta came up with this recipe and it is well loved by our whole family. These smell amazing on the grill and they taste even better! Marinating the steak overnight turns this into a make-ahead recipe (YES!) and the flavors are irresistible! Take one whiff of that marinade and you’ll just know! Get ready to savor every bite of these grilled steak kabobs.
Big thank you to my youngest sister, Sveta, for sharing this recipe with us. Sveta is a natural cook and she has shared so many of her wonderful recipes with us over the years, like this must-try juicy grilled chicken breast that shows up at nearly every summer party around here :).
Easy Ingredients Grilled Steak Kebabs & Steak Marinade:
What You Will Need:
8 medium (about 12″) metal grilling skewers
How to Make Steak Kebabs:
1. Add 1/4 cup BBQ sauce (honey flavor, or sweet and smoky), 1/4 cup white vinegar, 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 tsp sesame oil, 1 tsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper to a medium bowl and whisk to combine.
2. Place chopped steak into a large mixing bowl or Ziploc bag and pour marinade over meat. Stir to combine, cover (or seal the bag) and refrigerate overnight, stirring once or twice while marinating. Allow at least 8 hours for the marinade to tenderize the meat.
3. Skewer the marinated meat along with the sliced vegetables onto kabobs, alternating them on the skewer. Grill steak kabobs over med/high heat for about 8-10 minutes or until desired doneness is reached, rotating every 2-3 minutes for even grilling. Remove kebabs from grill and let them rest at least 5 minutes before eating.
Mmm I’m so hungry writing this post (and wishing there were leftovers!). These steak kebabs are so yummy paired with mashed potatoes and this salad!

Q: What is your favorite food to grill?

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Looks delicious. Is there any other way to cook it if i dont have a grill? Pan fry/bake etc?
Hi Noro, it can be challenging to pan-sear steak kabobs (mostly due to the size of the skewers). For this reason, I recommend our pan-seared steak instead for stovetop cooking. If I were to cook the kebabs in the oven – make sure your oven is fully preheated to 450°F, set the skewers on a baking sheet (keeping some space between them) and roast until they reach your desired doneness, usually around 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through baking.
Hi Natasha , I like your Kabob recipe , next time I will pound down the steak then cut into cubes , and put in fridge but not for overnight . Thank You.
Sounds good and great to hear that you love it!
I’m not real big BBQ flavor person is this strong or I guess I could use a little less?
Hi Terri, I haven’t tested that but I’m sure you can use a little less of it.
Hi Natasha;
Is it ok to marinade for a couple of hours instead? Would flavours still develop?
Hi Marisa! I think that will be fine but I prefer to allow at least 8 hours for the marinade to also tenderize meat.
These kabobs were amazing! I used stew meat and they were still tender! I’m going to try chicken next time.
Sounds like a plan, good to know that you loved this recipe!
Your recipes are the best. Our favorite is your French Onion soup. My husband asks for it every week.
That is one of our favorites too and I’m glad you’re both enjoying my recipes.
I’m allergic to sesame seed oil or any kind of sesame seed what else can I use instead
You can use another oil of your choice. Olive oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, peanut oil are all great choices.
Hello, was wondering are you using toasted sesame seed oil or regular? TY
Hi Rhonda, I use the regular sesame oil.
These were fabulous! Thank you again Natasha for a great recipe.
You’re welcome! I’m so happy you enjoyed it, Sandra!
