Ingredients for Hawaiian Beef Kabobs

• boneless top sirloin steak cut into bite size pieces
• soy sauce
• garlic powder
• olive oil
• bell peppers
• red onions
• pineapple chunks
• Any other veggies you like (cherry tomatoes would be nice)

How to make beef kabobs:

1. Combine steak, soy sauce and garlic powder in a large zip-top bag. Seal and marinate steak for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.  Turn once about half way through. 
2. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Once you have marinated the meat, remove the steak from marinade and discard marinade.
3. Place green peppers or red peppers and onions in a large bowl and then toss with olive oil.
4. Alternately thread beef, onion, peppers, and pineapple onto metal, bamboo, or wooden skewers; sprinkle with salt and pepper.
5. Place your Hawaiian steak kabobs on a grill rack rubbed with olive oil. Grill 6-8 minutes per side or to desired doneness.

How long to grill beef kabobs:

When you get the hankering for Hawaii (oh I mean Hawaiian beef kabobs), grill them over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steak is to your desired doneness. 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium or 150°F for medium-well.

How to cook beef kabobs in the oven:

If you don’t have a grill or you don’t want to stand out in the freezing cold to grill, you can also make these kabobs in the oven!

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Place the kabobs on a parchment or aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Don’t feel like making them into kabobs, just toss the meat, veggies and pineapple on prepared baking sheet and continue with the following directions.
• Cook them for 20-30 minutes, turning halfway through, or until desired doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, 150°F for medium-well).
• Give them a quick broil for 2-4 minutes per side to seal in the juices and crisp the outsides of the beef if you’d like. If you decide to broil go ahead and undercook the kabobs a bit when baking so the meat doesn’t overcook and get tough.
