Meats
- 1 pound sirloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
- 12 ounces smoked sausage sliced into 1-inch pieces
Vegetables
- 1 large red onion cut into chunks
- 2 bell peppers different colors, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 ounces button mushrooms stems removed
- 1 zucchini sliced into thick rounds
Marinade
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 8-10 wooden or metal skewers if using wooden skewers, soak in water for 20 minutes
In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, rosemary, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Add the steak cubes to the marinade, tossing to ensure each piece is well-coated. Let the meat rest in the marinade for at least 15 minutes at room temperature.
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
Thread the marinated steak, sausage pieces, and vegetables onto skewers, alternating ingredients to create visually appealing patterns. Leave small spaces between items to ensure even cooking.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (approximately 400-450°F). Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
Place kabobs over direct heat and grill for 3-4 minutes per side, rotating a quarter turn every few minutes, until the steak reaches your desired doneness (130-135°F for medium-rare, 140-145°F for medium).
Remove kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
For busy weeknights, prepare the marinade in the morning and refrigerate for deeper flavor penetration.
Consider making dedicated vegetable or meat-only skewers to accommodate different preferences.
If using a gas grill, create a cooler zone by turning off one section for better temperature control during cooking.
