Tender pieces of steak are bathed in a flavorful marinade, skewered with onions, peppers and mushrooms, then grilled to juicy steakhouse perfection!
These steakhouse kebabs are the perfect meal to grill up at your next cookout or BBQ! They’re super easy to customize, and the flavor imparted by the marinade is oh so absolutely perfect!
I think it’s safe to say that we’re officially into grilling season, or at least it will be very soon. Seriously one of my favorite times of the year!
When it comes to grilling, I love making up kebabs. Not only are they pretty to look at, they’re an easy way to grill everything at once, and food on a stick (or skewer) is basically the best ever!
You know when you go to a great steakhouse, and your steak is just literally bursting with flavor? That’s where my inspiration came from for the marinade for these kebabs.
It’s full of savory flavors like soy, balsamic, Worcestershire, garlic, and dijon, mixed with a bit of sweet brown sugar to balance it out. Even if you don’t want to make the kebabs, you could definitely use this marinade for a great grilled or seared steak!
To really compound on the marinade flavor, I also marinated the baby Bella mushrooms in the same marinade, and they absorb it SO well. Each bite is just flavor-packed!!
As far as what to skewer alongside the steak and mushrooms, you can do just about anything you’d like. I love sweet red onion and I thought the vibrant green color of the bell pepper just made these look gorgeous.
I like to keep things light and serve these kebabs with a side salad and maybe some crusty bread, but of course, feel free to go in a different direction… it’s your meal 🙂
You can also use any type of steak that you prefer, just make sure you don’t use a cut of beef that’s meant for slow roasting. I used a couple of strip steaks I had in my freezer.
So uncover that grill and make sure you have plenty of gas or charcoal, because these Grilled Steakhouse Kebabs are great for any weeknight or backyard BBQ!
Helpful Tools:
- Circle Kebab Skewers – I love this fun circle shape, which makes them fit on a standard round plate!
- Meat Thermometer – Never guess how “done” the meat is again!

Tried the recipe but didn’t like the marinade. Sorry. I can post a pic but no option to share it or paste here

Hey Amanda, I like these kebabs and spices you used for making them. They look yummy and I am sure I will make them this weekend. Thanks.
Stacy says
Is this recipe possible to make without an outdoor grill? I have a George Foreman grill or the oven/stove
The Chunky Chef says
Hi Stacy 🙂 Yes, absolutely! You could try the Foreman grill (although I’m not familiar enough with it to say cooking times), or broil them. To broil, turn broiler on high and position oven rack about 6 inches from the top. Line a baking sheet with foil and broil kebabs 2 minutes per side, until steak is cooked to your liking 🙂
