Beef, Pepper And Mushroom Kabobs
Juicy beef, colorful peppers, and earthy mushrooms are threaded onto skewers for a flavorful, easy-to-make grill or broiler dish perfect for casual gatherings or weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Trim excess fat from steak and cut into 1 1/4-inch pieces.
- Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, water, Dijon mustard, honey, dried oregano, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add beef, green pepper pieces, and mushrooms to the bowl, turning to coat evenly.
- Alternately thread beef, green pepper, and mushrooms onto each of four 12-inch metal skewers.
- Place the kabobs on a rack in a broiler pan so the surface of the meat is 3 to 4 inches from the heat source.
- Broil for 9 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, for rare to medium doneness.
- Season with salt if desired before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For optimal flavor, marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes before threading onto skewers. You can substitute the green pepper with bell peppers or zucchini for a different taste. If you prefer a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes to the marinade. Ensure even cooking by cutting all ingredients to a similar size.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these kabobs with a side of rice or a fresh salad for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with Cheesy Macaroni And Beef Casserole or grilled vegetables. For a refreshing touch, add a yogurt-based dip or tzatziki on the side, enhancing the overall dining experience.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover kabobs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them under the broiler for a few minutes or in a preheated oven at 350°F until warmed through. This helps maintain the texture and flavor without overcooking.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat for these kabobs?
Yes, you can easily substitute the beef with chicken, pork, or even firm tofu for a vegetarian option. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, as different meats require different cooking durations to achieve the desired doneness.
What can I do if I don't have metal skewers?
If metal skewers are unavailable, you can use soaked wooden skewers instead. Soaking them in water for at least 30 minutes prevents them from burning while broiling. Alternatively, you can cook the ingredients in a grill basket for easy handling.
How can I ensure my kabobs are evenly cooked?
To ensure even cooking, cut all ingredients to a uniform size and avoid overcrowding the skewers. Additionally, turn the kabobs frequently while broiling, which promotes even heat distribution and helps achieve the perfect doneness.
