Ingredients
Scale
Steak Marinade
- 3 lbs filet mignon (or top sirloin steak), cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
- ½ cup Chimichurri Sauce, plus more for finishing
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Kosher salt & fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Vegetables
- 1 large green bell pepper, deseeded & cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large red bell pepper, deseeded & cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 large yellow bell pepper, deseeded & cut into 1-inch pieces
Instructions
- Marinate the steak: In a large resealable plastic bag or bowl, combine the steak cubes with chimichurri sauce, Worcestershire sauce, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly to coat the steak evenly. Seal the bag or cover the bowl, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
- Prepare the skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 20 minutes to prevent burning. Use metal skewers if available for easier handling.
- Assemble the kabobs: Thread the marinated steak cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of green, red, and yellow bell peppers. Leave about 2 inches free at one end for handling. Repeat until all ingredients are used, making approximately 8-10 kabobs.
- Preheat the grill: Using the direct heat method, preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Grill the kabobs: Place the skewers onto the hot grill grates. Close the lid and grill for about 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally to cook evenly. Grill until the steak reaches your preferred doneness.
- Rest and serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill using tongs and place them on a serving platter. Brush with additional chimichurri sauce if desired. Let the kabobs rest for at least 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute. Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Notes
- For best flavor, marinate the steak overnight.
- Soaking wooden skewers helps prevent them from burning on the grill.
- Filet mignon is used for tenderness, but top sirloin is a great budget-friendly alternative.
- Adjust grilling time based on your preferred steak doneness.
- Serve with rice, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
