Ingredients
Scale
For the Kebabs
- 1 1/2 pounds sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
For the Marinade
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soaked in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, grated ginger, and black pepper until well combined to create the flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Steak: Add the sirloin steak cubes into the marinade, tossing to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
- Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. If using wooden skewers, ensure they have been soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
- Assemble the Kebabs: Thread the marinated steak cubes, pineapple chunks, red and green bell pepper pieces, and red onion wedges onto the skewers, alternating ingredients to evenly distribute flavor and texture.
- Grill the Kebabs: Place the skewers on the hot grill and cook for 8 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking. Grill until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are lightly charred.
- Rest and Serve: Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes to retain juices before serving. Optionally, brush with remaining marinade during grilling for extra flavor.
Notes
- For additional flavor, brush kebabs with leftover marinade periodically while grilling.
- These kebabs can also be baked in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through cooking.
- Serve the kebabs with steamed rice or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
- If using wooden skewers, always soak them in water before grilling to prevent burning.
