Ingredients

Marinade for Beef Kebabs

¼ cup avocado oil or olive oil
¼ cup soy sauce
1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
1 ½ tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons garlic minced or finely chopped
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon black pepper

For Steak Kebabs

2 lb sirloin steak cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
2 thin zucchinis cut into 1 ½-inch pieces
2 red bell peppers cut into 1 ½-inch cubes
sea salt to taste
avocado oil spray

Instructions

Prepare the Marinade

In a large glass mixing bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, soy sauce, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper until well combined.

Marinate the Beef

Add the cubed sirloin steak to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight for maximum flavor.

Prepare Vegetables

While the beef marinates, prepare the zucchini and red bell peppers. Cut the zucchinis into 1 ½ inch rings and the bell peppers into 1 ½ inch cubes.

Preheat the Grill

About 30 minutes before grilling, preheat your grill to medium/high heat, aiming for a temperature between 450°F and 500°F. This ensures a good sear on the kebabs.

Assemble the Kebabs

Once the beef has marinated, remove it from the refrigerator. Thread the skewers, alternating between the beef, zucchini, and bell pepper. Repeat the order until all ingredients are used. Leave a little space between each piece to allow for even cooking.

Season and Grill

Lightly spray the assembled kebabs with avocado oil and season with sea salt to taste. Place the skewers on the preheated and greased grill.
Grill the kebabs for about 8-9 minutes, turning them every couple of minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; aim for 135°F for medium-rare or grill longer for your desired level of doneness.
Once cooked to your liking, remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot alongside mashed potatoes and a Caesar salad for a delicious meal. Enjoy your flavorful and juicy beef kebabs!

Notes

Before grilling, let the beef come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This ensures even cooking throughout.
Make sure your grill is hot before adding the kebabs. Preheat it to medium-high heat, around 450°F to 500°F, for a good sear.
Give each piece of beef kebab enough space on the grill. Overcrowding can cause the temperature to drop and prevent proper searing.
After grilling, let the beef rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender bite. Or you can serve right of way, ether way works.
