Instructions
Marinade Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Whisk until combined and glossy.
- Taste to adjust seasoning, ensuring it’s flavorful for the meat.
- Add the steak cubes and toss to coat evenly.
- Cover and marinate for 30 minutes to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Prepare Vegetables
- Cut vegetables into sizes similar to the steak for even cooking.
- Soak wooden skewers in water if using.
Assemble Kebabs
- Skewer a mix of steak and vegetables onto prepared skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
- Keep similar cooking times together, e.g., group tomatoes separately.
Grilling
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Oil the grates to prevent sticking.
- Place the skewers on the grill and close the lid.
- Turn skewers every 2-3 minutes for even browning.
- Cook steak cubes for about 8-12 minutes, or until desired doneness is reached.
- Let kebabs rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet with a splash of water.
