16 - Wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use)
# Steps:
01 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
02 - Add the steak cubes to the marinade and toss thoroughly to ensure even coating. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes, or up to 2 hours for optimal flavor penetration.
03 - Thread the marinated steak cubes and prepared vegetables alternately onto the skewers, distributing ingredients evenly across each skewer for balanced cooking.
04 - Preheat an outdoor grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
05 - Place the assembled skewers on the grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes total, turning every 2 to 3 minutes to achieve even charring on all sides and reach desired steak doneness.
06 - Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute before serving.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The marinade does all the heavy lifting, so you get steakhouse quality flavor with almost zero technique required.
- Everything cooks on one set of skewers, which means almost no dishes and maximum grill time enjoyment.
02 -
- Do not marinate longer than two hours or the lemon juice will turn your steak mushy and oddly textured on the outside.
- Patting the vegetables dry before threading them helps them char instead of steam on the grill.
03 -
- Leave a small gap between the last ingredient and the end of each skewer so nothing falls off into the grill.
- Toss the vegetables in a teaspoon of olive oil and a pinch of salt before threading them so they do not dry out against the direct heat.
