How to make Asian Beef Shish Kabobs:
This beef shish kabob marinade has many of the classic Asian flavors, soy sauce, garlic, green onion, sesame oil, and a little sweetener.
What kind of Beef to use for Kabobs
You can make these beef kabobs with just about any cut of steak. I used tri-tip in my beef kabobs but you could definitely use sirloin steak, a ribeye, or chuck steak.
Tri-tip beef steak and sirloin beef steak are probably the best for this marinade.
What is the best kind of vegetable for kabobs
You can also use just about any variety of vegetable. The steak only takes about 10 minutes to grill so you want something that can cook in about that amount of time.
Potatoes are a natural combination with beef steak or steak bites but if you decide to use them, be sure to use potatoes that are already almost thoroughly cooked. My favorite veggies for shish kabobs are onions and peppers. I think I could eat onions and peppers every day!
How to Prepare Wood Kabob Sticks
Be sure to soak your wooden shish kabob sticks before you use them.
I've found it works great to put an inch of water in a 9 by 13 baking dish and drop my kabob sticks in there. They need to soak in the water for a couple of hours.
There really aren't any rules when it comes to making a great kabob. Have some fun! Use everything you love. They're all so pretty and fun to eat!

Tips for making a great beef shish kabob and marinade:
- Soak your wooden kabob sticks for at least a couple hours.
- Marinate your meat but not your veggies with it
- Cut your meat up before you marinate it. It gives the meat more flavor.
- Use just about any kind of veggie. It works great to brush them with butter and a little garlic salt to give them a ton of flavor too.
- Be sure to salt and pepper your kabobs. There isn't much salt in the marinade.

Instructions
- For the Asian Beef Marinade: In a gallon ziplock bag, combine the avocado oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, brown sugar, sliced green onions and the red pepper flakes.
- If you're using wooden shish kabob sticks, soak them in water for 2 hours before assembling the beef shish kabobs.
- Cut the steak into 1 1/4" pieces. Be sure all the meat is about the same size so it cooks evenly. Cut the veggies into 1 1/4" pieces as well.
- Add the meat the kabob sticks, alternating with the veggies. (Use an onion on the ends of the kabobs. They hold everything on there the best)
- Grill for 3 min on each side, searing the meat and cooking to the desired doneness.
