Easy Stew Meat Kabobs Recipe for the Grill or Oven
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Stew Meat, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 bell peppers any color, cut into 1'' chunks*
- 1 sweet onion, cut into 1" chunks
Kabob Marinade Recipe
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp prepared mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp salt or to taste
- 1 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare beef: Cut beef into 1-inch pieces. This may already be done for you since stew meat is pre-cut and packaged.
- Prepare Vegetables: Cut into 1" chunks
- Make the marinade: Whisk soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl; pour into a resealable plastic bag. Add beef cubes and squeeze out excess air; seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
- Prepare the skewers: About 30 minutes before you're ready to cook the kabobs, soak four 10-inch bamboo skewers in water 20-30 minutes so that they don’t burn on the grill. We prefer wooden skewers over metal skewers because metal skewers will cause the beef to start cooking from the inside, which isn’t ideal.
- Prepare grill: Preheat grill on medium-high heat and oil.
- Prepare basting sauce: Remove beef from the marinade. Pour the marinade into a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes; set aside for basting.
- Thread beef and veggies on skewers: Thread beef on skewers with desired vegetables
- Grill and Baste: Grill kabobs over medium-high heat. Turn and baste with sauce every 2 minutes for even grilling. Grill for 8-10 minutes maximum, according to the desired meat temperature. Allow the meat to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve: Serve & enjoy!
Notes
You can use any vegetable(s) of choice such as bell peppers (green, red, orange, yellow), mushrooms, zucchini, summer squash, cherry tomatoes, and sweet onion.
To Cook Kabobs in Oven: turn oven to broil on high. Place kabobs on the top oven rack and cook for 7-15 minutes and rotate during cooking. Remove from oven when kabobs reach desired temperature.
