Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound steak, cubed
- 2 large potatoes, cubed
- 1 bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 onion, cut into squares
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients by cutting steak into 1-inch uniform cubes. Wash and cut potatoes into similar-sized 1-inch chunks to ensure even cooking.
- Par-boil potato cubes in salted water for 3-4 minutes to ensure they will cook thoroughly on the grill. Drain and let cool for 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine steak cubes, potato chunks, bell pepper squares, and onion pieces. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Toss ingredients gently to ensure even coating.
- Preheat grill to medium-high heat, approximately 400-450°F. Clean and oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Thread the steak, potato, pepper, and onion pieces onto metal skewers, alternating ingredients for balanced flavor and visual appeal.
- Place kebabs on preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, rotating to ensure even charring and cooking.
- Check steak doneness using meat thermometer. For medium-rare, aim for internal temperature of 135°F.
- Remove kebabs from grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes to allow juices to redistribute.
- Serve hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or chives.
Tips
- Uniform Cutting: Ensure all ingredients are cut to similar sizes for even cooking and consistent texture.
- Par-boiling Potatoes: This crucial step prevents undercooked potatoes and ensures they're tender when the steak is perfectly done.
- Marinating Option: For extra flavor, consider marinating the steak cubes for 1-2 hours before grilling.
- Skewering Technique: Alternate ingredients to create a visually appealing and evenly cooked kebab.
- Grill Temperature: Maintain a medium-high heat (400-450°F) for perfect searing and caramelization.
- Meat Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to achieve your desired steak temperature – 135°F for medium-rare.
- Resting Period: Always let the kebabs rest for 3-5 minutes after grilling to retain juices and maximize flavor.
- Serving Suggestion: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra burst of freshness.
