Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the potatoes into 1-inch cubes and season with salt and pepper.
- Cut the round steak into 1-inch cubes, seasoned with salt and pepper.
- Thread the steak and potato pieces alternately onto 12 wooden skewers.
- Lightly coat the skewers with flour to prevent sticking.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the skewers for about 7-8 minutes per side, until the steak is cooked to desired doneness and potatoes are tender.
- Remove from grill and serve hot.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the steak in your favorite marinade for at least an hour before grilling. You can substitute the round steak with sirloin or flank steak for a different texture. If you want to add more vegetables, bell peppers and zucchini work well on the skewers. Ensure the potatoes are cut evenly for consistent cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the kabobs with a side of Delicious Pickled Vegetable Salad for a refreshing contrast. A drizzle of Vegetable Vinaigrette can enhance the flavors. They also pair excellently with Keep It Barbecue Sauce for added richness. For a complete meal, consider serving them with a simple green salad or grilled corn on the cob.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover kabobs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes or until heated through. Alternatively, you can reheat on the grill for a few minutes, ensuring they do not dry out.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat for this recipe?
Absolutely! Chicken, shrimp, or tofu can be delicious alternatives. If using chicken, ensure it’s cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. For shrimp, cooking time will be shorter, around 3-4 minutes per side.
What can I do if my potatoes are not cooking through?
If you find that your potatoes are not cooking as quickly as the steak, consider parboiling them for 5-7 minutes before threading onto the skewers. This will ensure they become tender by the time the steak is done.
How can I prevent the skewers from burning on the grill?
To prevent wooden skewers from burning, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using. This will help them withstand the heat without catching fire, ensuring your kabobs grill perfectly.
