Ingredients Notes For Rosemary Garlic Steak Kebabs:
- Steak: Choose a tender cut like sirloin or filet mignon for easy eating off the skewer.
- Rosemary: Fresh rosemary not only infuses the steak with aromatic flavors but also serves as skewers for a rustic presentation.
- Garlic: Freshly minced garlic enhances the marinade, providing a rich depth of flavor.
- Olive Oil: Acts as the base for the marinade, ensuring the kebabs are juicy and flavorful.
- Vegetables: Bell peppers, onions, and cherry tomatoes complement the steak and add color and variety to your kebabs.
- Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and a splash of balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce to balance the flavors.
Recipe Steps:
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, pepper, and your choice of balsamic vinegar or Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.
- Marinate the Steak: Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes and add them to the marinade. Ensure each piece is well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for deeper flavor.
- Prep the Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Alternatively, use fresh rosemary branches stripped of leaves as skewers for added flavor.
- Assemble the Kebabs: Thread the marinated steak cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of bell pepper, onion, and cherry tomatoes.
- Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs, turning occasionally, until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
Storage Options:
- Refrigerate: Store any uncooked marinated steak in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Cooked kebabs can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Freeze marinated steak cubes for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before skewering and grilling.
