**Classic Beef Kabobs:**
The classic beef kabobs are a timeless favorite, offering a harmonious blend of flavors that never goes out of style. Perfectly grilled beef cubes, succulent cherry tomatoes, tender zucchini, and sweet bell peppers are marinated in a tantalizing mixture of olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices. As the kabobs sizzle on the grill, the aromas fill the air, promising a feast that will delight your senses.
**Mediterranean Beef Kabobs:**
Inspired by the vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean, these kabobs take your taste buds on a journey to sun-kissed shores. Tender beef cubes are marinated in a flavorful combination of olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, thyme, and garlic. Accompanied by juicy tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and briny olives, these kabobs offer a delightful balance of savory and refreshing flavors.
**Spicy Beef Kabobs:**
For those who love a bit of heat, the spicy beef kabobs pack a punch that will set your taste buds ablaze. Succulent beef cubes are coated in a fiery marinade made with chili powder, cumin, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Grilled to perfection, the kabobs are paired with roasted red peppers, zesty onions, and charred jalapenos, creating a symphony of bold and spicy flavors that will leave you craving more.
MARINATED BEEF KABOBS
Recipe video above. Using a marinade infuses the beef with flavour as well as tenderising so you'll have juicy steak pieces even if you opt for a more economical cut of beef. Use the reserved marinade to baste the kabobs as they cook for extra flavour! Buy the beef in a block so you can cut them into large cubes. Makes 8 skewers.

Steps:
- Cut the beef into 3.25cm / 1.3" wide cubes.
- Mix Marinade in a bowl. Add beef. Marinate for 1 - 24 hours, minimum 20 minutes.
- Cut capsicum and onion into 3.25cm / 1.3" wide squares.
- Thread beef (reserve Marinade), vegetables and mushrooms on each skewer. I use 2 pieces of vegetables between each piece of beef. Thread loosely - don't smush together tightly (helps even cooking).
- Brush kebabs lightly with Reserved Marinade (including vegetables), then drizzle with olive oil.
- Heat BBQ or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil, then when smoking, cook kebabs in batches for 2 minutes on each side until slightly charred (4 sides = 8 minutes in total), basting with Reserved Marinade as you go.
- Transfer to plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 3 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired. See note for pictured Pink Dipping Sauce.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality beef: Opt for lean cuts like sirloin, tenderloin, or flank steak for tender and flavorful kabobs.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating helps tenderize the meat and infuses it with delicious flavors. Use a marinade made with olive oil, herbs, spices, and citrus juices for best results.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Incorporate a colorful array of vegetables like bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, and zucchini for added texture and flavor.
- Skewer the kabobs properly: Alternate between beef and vegetables on the skewers, ensuring that the pieces are evenly distributed and not overcrowded.
- Cook the kabobs over medium heat: This prevents the beef from overcooking and becoming tough. Grill or pan-fry the kabobs until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 145°F for medium-rare or 160°F for medium.
- Let the kabobs rest: Allow the kabobs to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in more tender and flavorful kabobs.
