Delicious and easy beef shish kabobs. A summertime favorite!
Ingredients
For Shish Kabobs & Vegetables
For Green Salad
Directions
Shish kabobs are a fun and flavorful way to enjoy grilled beef and vegetables. Tender, marinated beef cubes are skewered with colorful peppers, onions, and other fresh ingredients, then grilled until smoky and charred. Easy to prepare and perfect for summer gatherings, these kabobs make a delicious weeknight dinner or a crowd‑pleasing party appetizer.
Cut meat into 1–2-inch cubes. I actually got a package of boneless country ribs on sale that was already cut into chunks, very budget-friendly. You can also use tri-tip or sirloin for this if you prefer. Pour the A1 steak sauce into a bowl or large Ziploc bag with the chunks of meat. Allow the meat to marinate for a couple of hours or overnight for tougher cuts.
Soak your skewers in water for 30 minutes before cooking if using wooden or bamboo. Preheat grill to 400 degrees F. Cut the bell peppers and red onion into desired sizes for the shish kabobs.
Cut the ends off the zucchini, then cut it in half lengthwise. Clean and skewer the mushrooms. I like to cook the zucchini and mushrooms separately from the shish kabobs, as they cook faster.
Build your beef kabobs with colorful bell pepper slices, red onion, and marinated meat.


Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grates by dipping a folded paper towel into high‑heat oil like vegetable, canola, or avocado, then using long tongs to rub it over the grates—this helps prevent sticking and keeps your hands safely away from the heat. Put everything on the grill and shut the lid.
Remove the zucchini and mushrooms as soon as they have grill marks, about 3-4 minutes each side.
Prepare salad. I used a combination of lettuces from the garden, plus halved grape or cherry tomatoes and dressing of choice. I love red romaine because it adds color and a sweet, nutty flavor, and it also doesn't bolt as quickly as some other varieties. Cut the zucchini into bite-sized pieces and cut the mushrooms in half, then serve them together in a bowl.
Once the shish kabobs are cooked to your liking, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes, then serve. Serve beef shish kabobs on a platter with a bowl of grilled zucchini and mushrooms, a bowl of salad, and your favorite dressing.
Enjoy!
