What Kind of Steak Should I Use?

The best cuts for steak kebabs are those that remain tender and juicy when grilled. Sirloin is a popular choice as it’s flavorful and holds up well on skewers. You can also use ribeye for a richer taste or strip steak for a leaner option. The key is to choose a cut with some marbling for moisture but firm enough to hold its shape during grilling.

Ingredients for the Rosemary Garlic Steak Kebabs

Steak: The star of the dish, steak provides a juicy, hearty base that soaks up the marinade beautifully. Choose a cut like sirloin or ribeye for the best flavor and tenderness.

Garlic: Fresh minced garlic is key to giving these kebabs their rich, aromatic character.

Fresh Rosemary: Adds a fragrant, earthy depth that complements the beef perfectly.

Olive Oil: Helps carry the flavors of the marinade and keeps the meat moist while grilling.

Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings to enhance all the natural flavors.

Red Onion and Bell Pepper (optional): Adds color, sweetness, and a little crunch to balance the savory beef.

Wooden or Metal Skewers: For assembling and grilling the kebabs.

How To Make the Rosemary Garlic Steak Kebabs

Step 1: Prepare the Marinade

In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper. This fragrant mixture will infuse the steak with flavor.

Step 2: Cube and Marinate the Steak

Cut your steak into even cubes, about 1.5 inches each. Place them in a resealable bag or bowl and pour the marinade over. Toss to coat and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.

Step 3: Assemble the Kebabs

Thread the marinated steak cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red onion and bell pepper if desired. This adds both flavor and visual appeal.

Step 4: Grill the Kebabs

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the kebabs on the grill and cook for about 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches your preferred doneness.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Enjoy hot!
