1 green bell pepper: Offers a fresh contrast to the red pepper.

1/4 cup olive oil: Helps marinate the steak and adds richness.

2 cloves garlic: Minced for aromatic goodness.
1 teaspoon ground black pepper: Adds a bit of spice.
1 teaspoon salt: Essential for seasoning.

Skewers: Use metal or soak wooden skewers to prevent burning.

How to Make Steak Kabobs

Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, mix together olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, salt, and paprika. Add the cubed sirloin steak and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for more flavor.
Prepare the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated steak, bell peppers, onion wedges, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating between the meat and vegetables for a colorful presentation.
Grill the Kabobs: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender.
Serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious steak kabobs!
