What’s In Garlic Butter Steak Kabobs?

Butter
Minced Garlic: You can use freshly minced or can substitute for garlic powder if needed!
Minced Parsley: Fresh or dried works great in this recipe.
Salt
Pepper
Steak: I prefer to purchase sirloin steaks and cut them into equal sized chunks myself. I won’t lie though, I’ve done this with stew meat before, they just aren’t quite as tender.

How to Make Garlic Butter Steak Kabobs

Add the chunked meat and veggies to your skewers. I suggest using metal skewers because they’re easier to work with, but you can use wood if properly prepared (see below). Just make sure that there is enough space in between each element so everything cooks evenly.

Preheat your grill to 400 degrees F and then cook your kabobs for approx 5 minutes on each side until they’ve reached your desired doneness. Remember that 160 is well done and 135 is medium rare. I suggest having an instant read thermometer on hand, this really is key to perfect Steak Kabobs!

While the kabobs are on the grill, we will mix together the garlic butter. It consists of butter, garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.

Immediately after the kabobs come off of the grill, Spread the butter mixture all over the kabobs, allowing the butter to melt from the heat of the kabobs. Let them rest for 5 minutes with either a lid over the plate or some foil before serving.

What type of steak should I use?

You can use any type of steak that you have on hand or within your budget. I personally like to use Sirloin, New York Strip or boneless ribeye.

Should you wet skewers before grilling?

If you are using wooden skewers, then yes- definitely get them wet before using. Letting your wooden skewers soak in warm water for at least 30 minutes prior to using keeps them from splintering in your food and from catching on fire while over the grill.
