Barbecue Marinated Steak Cubes
Tender beef cubes marinated in a flavorful soy-honey mixture, then grilled to perfection, ideal for summer barbecues or casual gatherings with a savory, slightly sweet taste.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Marinate cubed beef all day or overnight in a metal bowl, covered with plastic wrap.
- Put the marinated beef onto skewers.
- Grill the skewers for 10 minutes, turning 5 minutes on each side until cooked.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more intense flavor, marinate the beef for a full 24 hours. If you don't have cooking sherry, replace it with white wine or apple cider vinegar. You can also use fresh garlic and ginger instead of powdered for a fresher taste. Keep an eye on the skewers while grilling to prevent burning, as cubed beef cooks quickly.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these barbecue marinated steak cubes with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with Frozen Potatoes for an easy side dish. Consider serving them as part of a platter with skewers of other meats or veggies for a fun barbecue party.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover marinated steak cubes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, or use a microwave for quick reheating. Avoid overcooking during reheating to maintain tenderness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute cubed chicken or pork for the beef. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as chicken and pork may require different grilling times to reach safe temperatures.

If you don't have skewers, you can grill the marinated beef cubes directly on the grill grates or use a grill basket. This will allow for even cooking without the need for skewers.
Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the marinade and cube the beef a day in advance. Marinate the beef overnight for maximum flavor, and simply grill it when you're ready to serve.
