Recipe video above. Using a marinade infuses the beef with flavour as well as tenderising so you'll have juicy steak pieces even if you opt for a more economical cut of beef. Use the reserved marinade to baste the kabobs as they cook for extra flavour! Buy the beef in a block so you can cut them into large cubes. Makes 8 skewers.

Ingredients

  • 750g / 1.5 lb beef tri tips, sirloin steak tips or other steak cut, (Note 1)
  • 3 capsicum / bell peppers (red, yellow green)
  • 1 large red onion
  • 16 small mushrooms, 3.25cm / 1.3" wide
  • 1 tsp minced garlic (2 large garlic clove)
  • 1 tsp onion powder (or sub with garlic powder)
  • 2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce (Note 2)
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or other neutral flavoured oil)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 16 flat metal skewers, 25 - 30cm / 10 - 12" (Note 3)
  • Olive oil, for drizzling and cooking
  • Finely chopped parsley, garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. 1

  2. 2

    Cut the beef into 3.25cm / 1.3" wide cubes.

  3. 3

    Mix Marinade in a bowl. Add beef. Marinate for 1 - 24 hours, minimum 20 minutes.

  4. 4

    Cut capsicum and onion into 3.25cm / 1.3" wide squares.

  5. 5

    Thread beef (reserve Marinade), vegetables and mushrooms on each skewer. I use 2 pieces of vegetables between each piece of beef. Thread loosely - don't smush together tightly (helps even cooking).

  6. 6

    Brush kebabs lightly with Reserved Marinade (including vegetables), then drizzle with olive oil.

  7. 7

    Heat BBQ or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil, then when smoking, cook kebabs in batches for 2 minutes on each side until slightly charred (4 sides = 8 minutes in total), basting with Reserved Marinade as you go.

  8. 8

    Transfer to plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 3 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired. See note for pictured Pink Dipping Sauce.
