I am all about eating skewered meats during the summer, and these garlic butter beef kabobs are my absolute favorite way to do grilled steak.

Steak kabobs with mushrooms, red onion and bell peppers, brushed with garlic butter.

Easy dinners….what mother doesn’t love them? I’m all for cooking but I also like when I don’t have to put in a ton of effort. Those are the nights that I whip up these steak kabobs with garlic butter. I love making all kinds of kabobs but these really hit the spot when it comes to flavor!

HOW DO YOU MAKE STEAK KABOBS?

Making kabobs is one of the easiest tasks you’ll ever tackle. Once you have your meat cut to the right size, thread all of your ingredients onto the skewers. Grill the beef kabobs to perfection on each side then brush on that glorious, aromatic garlic butter mixture. You can then serve one of the easiest dinners you’ve ever made.

Everyone has their own steak preference and mine is sirloin. Sirloin is what I used for my beef kabobs recipe although other cuts of steak will get the job done. I would suggest using rib eye or New York strip steak as a substitute for sirloin, although they tend to be pricier.

If you don’t have access to a grill or you just don’t feel like getting the grill set up, these steak kabobs can be broiled in the oven as well. You can also cook them indoors on a grill pan. Be sure to follow the directions in the recipe for broiling rather than grilling if you go the oven route.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SIRLOIN AND OTHER STEAKS?

The main differences between each type of steak is where it comes from on the cow. Different portions of the cow result in various types of steak. For example, filet mignon is a portion of the cow that does little work muscle wise which results in a softer more buttery type of steak.

I use a combination of peppers, onions and mushrooms for these kabobs because they’re a classic flavor pairing with steak. You can substitute other veggies if you like. Other great veggie options are zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and asparagus.

Did I mention how easy these steak kabobs are? If I have, I don’t mind saying it again. They’re a delicious meal that takes little effort and pleases the entire family while giving mama a break from the difficult dinners. The steak is tender and juicy, the vegetables crisp and fresh, and you can never go wrong with garlic butter!

      What do you think about using extra virgin olive oil in place of the butter? We’re kosher and can’t serve butter with meat. Thanks!

        I found avocado oil at Costco and it’s my new fav to cook and season with instead of butter.

      I made this for company and it was delicious! I liked that the kebabs were all ready to go before they arrived. Just a quick grill and it was done. No clean up either!

        I haven’t made this in the air fryer but I think it would work. I’m not an air fryer expert but here’s some general guidance on how to cook steak in an air fryer: https://myforkinglife.com/perfect-air-fryer-steak-with-garlic-herb-butter/

      I am not a huge steak fan but my hubby loves it so he always whines that I don’t make it haha. These sound so good, especially with the garlic butter, that it might be the perfect compromise!
