      Oh that’s a great idea. I would add a couple on each skewer. Nothing to small. Baby bellas or button should work great.

      Hi Lori I haven’t tried making it days in advance, usually a day or two is fine. If you experiment and have it longer, please let me know how you like it.

    Hello Natasha,
    I tried this recipe it was pretty good, my only change for the next time I make it is to reduce the marinade time to perhaps an hour or two. I thought the overnight marinade overpowered the beef flavor. My wife on the other hand liked it fine.
    Thanks for all you do!

      Hello Vincent, I haven’t tried roasting but I think that could work. I can’t give you specific bake times – you might do some googling for roasted steak kabobs.

      Hi Travis, this makes eight 12-inch skewers so I would probably do 1 1/2 times the recipe to feed 10 and do 2 times the recipe for 15.

    The recipe sounds excellent. I plamN on trying it soon! I do have a question as to the type of meat to be used. Could one use a strip steak for the kabobs?

      Hi Lesya, I do think that would work since it is a fairly tender cut of beef 🙂

      Hi Marta, you could reheat them on a skillet (remove from the skewer first) or place the whole skewer in the oven and heat until warm.

    Can you use roast instead of sirloin for this recipe, if not how about stew meat? I can’t wait to try but this is the only beef I have at the moment. Thanks!

      Hi Nikole, I think Stew meat should work – Stew meat is generally different cuts of meat mixed together. I haven’t tried roasting but I think that could work. I can’t give you specific bake times – you might do some googling for roasted steak kabobs. We always put ours on the grill because we love the smokiness the grill adds 🙂

      Agree with Natasha, roasts and stew meat are generally tougher cuts of meat that need the long slow cooking to get them tender. The vinegar in this recipes does tenderize, however it would probably be best to hit roast or stew meat with a needle tenderizer first to get the marinade deeper into the meat. I look forward to seeing what your results are.

    Hi Natasha,
    It is nice to have a sister. Specially if she is as talented as yours.Sveta’s recipe is the summer recipe and summer gives you permission to stop trying so hard. Just relax and enjoy the taste. My favorite line from your post is “Marinating the steak overnight turns this into a make-ahead recipe and the flavors are irresistible!”Thank you for this recipe. It is MUST TRY (and enjoy).
    P.S. The pictures are spectacular!
