Instructions
Marinade Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, vinegar, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt.
- Whisk together until well blended.
- Add your steak cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or ideally, for a few hours in the refrigerator.
Grilling the Kabobs
- Preheat the Grill: Get your grill hot and ready. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Skewer the Ingredients: Thread the marinated steak onto the skewers, alternating with chunks of bell pepper, onion, and zucchini.
- Grill Time: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally. Aim for medium-rare to medium doneness.
- Rest Before Serving: Once grilled to perfection, let the kabobs rest for a few minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Notes
Serving ideas include arranging kabobs on a platter with fresh herbs, and offering a variety of dips and sides. Avoid overcrowding skewers for even cooking.
