Foxy Steak Kebabs
Foxy Steak Kebabs feature tender beef cubes marinated in a sweet and savory soy-honey-ginger glaze, perfect for grilling and ideal for casual gatherings or family dinners.
Ingredients
Instructions
- In a shallow glass dish, combine soy sauce, honey, grated fresh ginger, crushed garlic, grated lemon peel, and crushed red hot pepper flakes.
- Mix well to combine the marinade.
- Add the beef cubes to the marinade and stir to coat evenly.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Thread the marinated beef, cherry tomatoes, and mushroom halves onto skewers.
- Grill the kebabs until the beef is cooked to desired doneness and vegetables are tender.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the steak overnight if possible. You can substitute the sirloin with flank steak or even chicken for a different twist. If you don't have fresh ginger, ground ginger can work in a pinch, but use less. For a smokier flavor, add a dash of smoked paprika to the marinade.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Foxy Steak Kebabs with a side of grilled vegetables and a refreshing salad for a complete meal. They pair beautifully with Mediterranean recipes like Grilled Kabobs With Rice or a tangy yogurt sauce. For added flavor, sprinkle some fresh herbs over the kebabs before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover kebabs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat them on a grill for a few minutes to restore some of their original texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use vegetables other than tomatoes and mushrooms?
Absolutely! Bell peppers, zucchini, and red onions are great alternatives that will also add flavor and color. Just make sure to cut them into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
What should I do if I don't have skewers?
If you lack skewers, you can grill the kebabs in a grill basket or on a grill pan. Alternatively, you can cook the marinated beef and vegetables separately on the grill for the same delicious flavor.
How do I know when the steak is cooked to my liking?
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130-135°F (54-57°C), and for medium, look for 140-145°F (60-63°C). Remember that the steak will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the grill.
