  • Combine 1 Tbsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. sea salt, and 1 tsp. pepper in a bowl. Sprinkle on the cubed steaks on all four sides, patting down to press the seasoning into the meat.

Notes

  • Cut your beef into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.
  • We recommend you don't use metal skewers - they transfer heat and will make it easy to overcook the beef. Use bamboo skewers for best results.
  • To make it easier to turn your beef kabobs on the grill, skewer them twice.
  • Soak your wooden skewers for at least 20 minutes before grilling.
  • For best results, always use a meat thermometer to check the doneness of your meat kabobs.
