The Best Beef for this Recipe
I’ve made this recipe many times and have used several different cuts of steak. My favorite, by far, is sirloin steak. I love the marbling and flavor that sirloin has.
I’ve also used ribeye steaks and even a leftover filet. If you want a more economical option, you could even use flank steak.
Just one 3 ounce serving of beef has roughly 50% of your Daily Value of protein. Plus, it’s a good source of Vitamin B12, zinc and iron that helps with everything from energy, metabolism and your immune system. It’s a real nutrition powerhouse!

Tips for Cooking the Best Grilled Steak Kabobs
There are a few things that you can do to improve your grilled steak experience:
- Take meat out of the refrigerator to warm up before grilling, not long, about 20 minutes. It will cook more evenly.
- Always preheat your grill.
- Keep a little room between ingredients on the skewer. It helps with heat circulation and more even cooking.
- Make your vegetables around the same size so they all get done at the same time. Alternatively, par bake the larger ingredients, like we do in this recipe for the potatoes.
- Invest in a meat thermometer, Unless you’re a professional, it can be difficult to judge when the meat is done. The thermometer will take the guess work out of it for you.
- Let your meat rest for a few minutes after cooking for all those juices to return to the meat!
Can I make these Steak Kabobs in the Oven?
We do not have a long summer season or sometimes our outdoor grilling plans get cancelled due to rain. Consequently, you can make these Grilled Steak Kabobs indoors.
Stores have some great indoor grills options now or you can use a grill pan or broil pan and make them in your oven. Bake at 375 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Turning, at least once.
