How to Prepare Instructions
Getting these rosemary garlic steak kebabs ready is a breeze, and I’m here to guide you through each step! Just follow along, and you’ll be grilling like a pro in no time. The key is to let the steak marinate for the best flavor, so don’t skip that part! Here’s how to do it:
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by preparing your marinade. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Whisk it all together until it’s nice and blended.
- Now, it’s time to add the cubed sirloin steak to the marinade. Make sure every piece gets a good coating. I usually use my hands for this part – it’s messy but fun! Cover the bowl and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature. If you have more time, an hour in the fridge is even better!
- While the steak is soaking up those flavors, chop your red bell pepper and onion into big chunks. They should be about the same size as your steak cubes for even cooking.
- Once the marinating time is up, it’s skewer time! Grab some skewers (if using wooden ones, remember to soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning) and alternate threading the steak cubes, bell pepper, and onion onto them. Make them look colorful – it’s all about presentation!
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. You want it hot to get those beautiful grill marks.
- Place the skewers on the grill, turning them occasionally, and grill for about 10-12 minutes until the steak reaches your desired doneness. I love a nice medium-rare, but it’s all up to you!
- Once done, carefully remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes. This helps keep them juicy!
And there you have it! Easy, delicious rosemary garlic steak kebabs that are ready to impress your friends and family!

Tips for Success
To make your rosemary garlic steak kebabs truly shine, here are my go-to tips! First, choose a good-quality sirloin steak – it should be well-marbled for maximum tenderness and flavor. When marinating, longer is better; if you can, let the steak sit in the marinade for up to 2 hours in the fridge. This really enhances the flavors! Also, be sure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before you start cooking; this ensures those beautiful grill marks and a nice sear. Lastly, don’t overcrowd the skewers; give each piece some space for even cooking.

FAQ Section
I’ve gathered some of the most common questions about these delicious rosemary garlic steak kebabs, so you can grill with confidence!

I recommend marinating the steak for at least 30 minutes, but if you can spare an hour or two, you’ll really enhance those flavors!

Great question! Besides red bell pepper and onion, I often add zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms. Feel free to get creative with your favorites!

Storage & Reheating Instructions
Storing your leftover rosemary garlic steak kebabs is super easy! Just let them cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container. They’ll keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to save them for later, you can also freeze the kebabs by wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in a freezer bag. They’ll last for about 2 months in the freezer!
When you’re ready to enjoy them again, just thaw in the fridge overnight. To reheat, gently warm them in a skillet over low heat or pop them back on the grill for a few minutes to bring back that fresh flavor. Just don’t overdo it; we want to avoid drying them out!
