A delightful mix of steak and chicken, these kabobs are marinated in a flavorful BBQ sauce, grilled to perfection, and perfect for summer gatherings.
Equipment
- 1 Grill preheated to medium-high heat
- 8 skewers soaked if wooden
Ingredients
Marinade
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Kabobs
- 1 lb sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 bell peppers cut into chunks
- 1 red onion cut into wedges
- 8 oz mushrooms whole or halved
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and Worcestershire sauce until well combined. This will be used to marinate the steak and chicken for optimal flavor.
- Place the steak and chicken cubes into separate resealable bags. Divide the marinade between the bags, ensuring the meat is well coated. Seal and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Grilling
- Set your grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F. This will ensure the kabobs cook evenly while developing a nice char.
- Thread the marinated steak, chicken, and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating ingredients. This allows for even cooking and a balanced flavor profile.
- Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally. Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
Serving
- Let the kabobs rest for a few minutes after grilling. Serve hot, alongside your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
Storage
- Place any leftover kabobs in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat on the grill or in the oven to enjoy again.
