Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 1 lb (450 g) sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 lb (450 g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables
- 1 bell pepper (any color), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
Marinade
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- Marinate the steak and shrimp: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Add the sirloin steak cubes and peeled shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to infuse flavors.
- Prepare the vegetables: Wash the bell pepper thoroughly and cut it into 1-inch pieces. Peel the red onion and separate it into wedges, preparing them to be threaded onto skewers.
- Assemble the kabobs: Take the skewers and alternate threading pieces of marinated steak, shrimp, bell pepper, and red onion onto each skewer, distributing ingredients evenly for balanced grilling.
- Preheat the grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400°F (200°C), ensuring the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
- Grill the kabobs: Place the assembled kabobs on the heated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides until the steak is cooked to desired doneness and shrimp are opaque and slightly charred.
- Rest and serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a succulent bite. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
- Adjust the grilling time depending on the size of the steak cubes and shrimp to avoid overcooking.
- For added flavor, consider adding other vegetables like cherry tomatoes or zucchini slices.
- Serve the kabobs with a side of rice, salad, or pita bread for a complete meal.
- Leftover kabobs can be refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheated gently.
