Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off)
Vegetables
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
Marinade
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Others
- Wooden or metal skewers (if wooden, soak in water for at least 30 minutes)
Instructions
- Prepare skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- Make the marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Marinate steak and shrimp: Add the sirloin steak cubes and shrimp into the marinade and toss thoroughly to coat all pieces. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Preheat grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat, ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Assemble kabobs: Thread the marinated steak, shrimp, red bell pepper, green bell pepper, and red onion alternately onto the skewers for a colorful presentation.
- Grill kabobs: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches your preferred doneness and the shrimp turn pink and opaque.
- Rest and serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute and enhance flavor.
Notes
- To avoid over-marinating shrimp, consider marinating the steak and shrimp separately, then combining them on skewers before grilling.
- Incorporate additional vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes for more variety and color.
- Serve these kabobs alongside rice, grilled corn, or a fresh simple salad for a complete meal.
