Ingredients Needed

• Sirloin Steak – This is the steak we prefer for kabob recipes. It’s lean and budget friendly. You could use flat iron or strip steak, too.
• Vegetables – We used a mixture of bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms, but use whatever you have in the refrigerator or your favorite vegetables.
• Garlic and Pepper Steak Marinade – This is a premade marinade we enjoy, but you can use your favorite marinade or we listed a few homemade ones to try below.

Can I use a different Steak Marinade?

Yes! It’s an easy way to switch up the flavor in this easy kabob recipe. You can even make a homemade steak marinade.

Here are a few of our favorites.

• Red Wine Steak Marinade
• Garlic Steak Marinade
• Balsamic Steak Marinade

• Instant Read Meat Thermometer
• Cutting Board
• Chef’s Knife

Steps to Prepare Smoked Steak Kabobs

• Marinate – Pour the marinade in a resealable container. Add the cubed sirloin steak and allow to marinate at least 30 minutes in the fridge (sometimes we’ll start this in the morning and let it marinate all day), making sure to coat all of the steak.
• Preheat – Preheat the smoker to 250 degrees Fahrenheit with your favorite wood chips.
• Assemble – Place the steak, onions, cherry tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, and pepper on the skewers. Spoon the leftover marinade over the prepared skewers, discard any remaining marinade.
• Smoke – The steak kabobs will need to smoke for 60-90 minutes, until the steak has reached your desired doneness, turning once about halfway through the smoking process.

Expert Tip – Remember to soak your skewers if you are using wooden skewers!

What Kind of Wood Chips are Best for Steak Kabobs?

The best wood chips to use for steak are hickory, maple, pecan and oak. Each variety will lend its own unique flavor.

For this recipe we used a Hickory wood chip.

What should the internal temperature of steak be?

The best way to check when the kabobs are done is to check the internal temperature of the steak with an Instant Read Meat Thermometer.

Each person will have a different preference on what the internal temperature should be, but listed below is a guide.

We prefer ours in the 120-140 degree F range.

• Rare: 120 degrees F
• Medium Rare: 130 degrees F
• Medium: 145 degrees F
• Well: 160 degrees F

Leftovers

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Leftover kebabs make a great addition to salads. Perfect for an easy meal prep for lunch the next day.

The best way to reheat leftovers is in the oven. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Wrap the kabobs in foil then place them in the oven for 20-30 minutes to reheat. Wrapping them in foil will prevent them from drying out.

They can also be reheated in the microwave but this will dry them out more.

Make it a Meal!

• A Smoked Baked Potato that’s light and fluffy is always a great addition to these steak kabobs!
• Want sometime a little different then make Seasoned Smoked Potatoes!
• Don’t forget dessert! A scoop of ice cream on warm Smoked Strawberry Crisp is amazing!
