Grilled Beef Skewers are a simple yet flavorful dish that highlights tender chunks of marinated beef cooked over high heat until perfectly seared on the outside and juicy inside. Ideal for barbecues, gatherings, or casual weeknight dinners, these skewers bring a smoky, charred flavor that everyone will love.

Ingredients

  • Beef sirloin, ribeye, or tenderloin, cut into cubes
  • Olive oil
  • Soy sauce
  • Garlic, minced
  • Lemon juice or balsamic vinegar
  • Honey or brown sugar (optional, for slight sweetness)
  • Black pepper
  • Salt
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional, for marinade)
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, garlic, lemon juice (or balsamic vinegar), honey (if using), salt, black pepper, and herbs.
  2. Add beef cubes to the marinade and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours for deeper flavor).
  3. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  4. Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
  5. Thread beef onto skewers, leaving small gaps between pieces for even cooking.
  6. Grill skewers, turning occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until beef reaches desired doneness.
  7. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Add vegetables: Include bell peppers, onions, or zucchini on the skewers.
  • Spicy option: Add chili flakes or a splash of hot sauce to the marinade.
  • Asian-inspired: Use sesame oil and ginger in the marinade for a different twist.
  • Herb crusted: Sprinkle skewers with fresh herbs just before serving for added aroma.
  • Storage: Store cooked skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the grill, in a skillet, or in the oven at 350°F until warmed through. Skewers can also be frozen after cooking; thaw before reheating.
