Equipment

  • 6 Wooden Skewers (soaked)

Ingredients

Asian Beef Kabob Marinade

  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 4 teaspoons garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoons ginger powder
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 4 whole green onions sliced thin
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Beef Kabobs

  • 2 pounds steak cut into 1¼" pieces
  • 2 large red peppers sliced into 1¼" pieces
  • 2 cups pineapple cut into 1¼" pieces
  • 1 large red onion sliced into 1¼" pieces
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

  • In a freezer bag, combine the avocado oil, soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic, ginger, brown sugar, sliced green onions, and red pepper flakes.
  • Cut the steak into 1¼" pieces, making sure they are as even as possible so that they will cook evenly. Add the beef to the freezer bag with the marinade and let marinate for at least 1 hour in the fridge, or up to 24 hours.
  • Add about 1" of water to a baking dish and soak the wooden skewers for at least 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, cut the veggies and pineapple into 1 ¼" pieces. Brush the veggies with melted butter and season with salt, pepper and garlic salt.

Grilling the Kabobs

  • Preheat grill to medium high heat.
  • Remove the meat from the marinade, and add it to the soaked kabob skewers, alternating with the veggies and pineapples. Use an onion on the ends of the kabobs to hold everything together.
  • Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, searing the meat and cooking to the desired doneness. 
  • Once the meat has cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing leftovers: remove all meat and veggies from the wooden skewers and store in the airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.  
Reheating: microwave leftovers, or reheat in a skillet over the stovetop slowly with a little water or avocado oil.
