Why Beef & Vegetable Kabobs?

Kabobs are a fantastic way to enjoy a variety of flavors in every bite. The beef provides a rich, savory taste, while the vegetables add a sweet and smoky contrast. Plus, kabobs are customizable—you can mix and match your favorite vegetables and even switch up the marinade to suit your taste. It’s a great way to get creative on the grill!

For these Beef & Vegetable Kabobs, I always reach for my Braize Kabob Grilling Basket with Removable Handle. Grilling kabobs can sometimes be tricky—getting that perfect char without overcooking the veggies or having them slip off the skewers. This is where the Braize grilling baskets come in handy. It keeps everything secure and evenly spaced, so all your ingredients cook at the same rate.

Beef & Vegetable Kabobs Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1.5 pounds of beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into thick rounds
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Directions:

Preparing the Marinade

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk until everything is well combined. This marinade is going to give your beef and veggies a deep, savory flavor with just a hint of smokiness.

Marinating the Beef & Vegetables

Add the beef cubes to the marinade and toss until well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours for maximum flavor. While the beef is marinating, toss the bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini in a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper to season them before grilling.

Assembling the Kabobs

Place the marinated beef and vegetables into Braize Kabob Grilling Baskets, alternating between the beef and each type of vegetable. 

Prepping Your Grill

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking. A hot grill is essential for getting those beautiful grill marks on your kabobs.

Grilling Techniques

Place the assembled kabobs in the Braize Kabob Grilling Baskets, securing the handle. Grill the kabobs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender with a slight char.

Kabobs have always been a staple at my BBQs. There’s something about the combination of juicy beef and grilled vegetables that just screams summer to me. Whether it’s for a family dinner or a backyard party, these Beef & Vegetable Kabobs are always a crowd-pleaser. Plus, they’re super easy to make, which is a win in my book!

Serving Suggestions

Once your kabobs are grilled to perfection, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with a side of rice, a fresh salad, or some warm pita bread. These kabobs are also great with a drizzle of your favorite BBQ sauce or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
