Ingredients
  

steak kebabs
  • 2 lb ribeye or sirloin Cut into 1.5-inch cubes.
  • 0.33 cup olive oil
  • 4 tbsp fresh rosemary Chopped.
  • 6 clove garlic Minced.
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste Season to taste.
  • 1 Metal or soaked wooden skewers Use metal skewers or soak wooden skewers before threading.

Equipment

  • 1 grill

Method
 

Make the herb marinade
  1. Whisk together olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper until the mixture looks uniform and fragrant.
Marinate the steak
  1. Pour the marinade over the steak cubes and make sure every piece is coated, then cover and refrigerate for 1-2 hours so the beef absorbs the herbs.
Thread the kebabs
  1. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers, leaving small spaces between pieces so the edges can char evenly on the grill.
Grill and rest
  1. Preheat the grill to high heat, then place the kebabs on and cook for 10-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until you see browned grill marks and the beef reaches your desired doneness.
  2. Transfer the kebabs to a plate and let rest for 5 minutes before serving so the juices redistribute.

Notes

Pro tip: pat any excess marinade off the steak before grilling so rosemary and garlic don’t burn; if using wooden skewers, keep them soaked to prevent scorching. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; freeze cooked kebabs for up to 2 months. Dietary swap: use a plant-based “steak” substitute (or chicken breast cubes) and shorten grilling time as needed for safe doneness.
