Description

These charcoal-grilled beef kabobs are a backyard barbecue classic, offering tender chunks of beef infused with a zesty, herbaceous marinade. The combination of lemon juice and dry ranch dressing mix creates a savory, slightly tangy crust that pairs beautifully with the smoky char from the grill. Juicy green peppers, sweet onions, and burst cherry tomatoes add vibrant texture and freshness to every bite. Perfect for summer gatherings, family dinners, or casual weeknight meals, this recipe brings bold international flair to your table with minimal effort. Serve with crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together vegetable oil, lemon juice, and dry ranch salad dressing mix until smooth.
  2. Place beef cubes in a shallow dish or large zip-top bag.
  3. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.
  4. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to penetrate.
  5. Preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat.
  6. Thread marinated beef cubes, green pepper squares, and onion wedges alternately onto skewers.
  7. Reserve some of the leftover marinade for basting (if desired, boil reserved marinade for 1 minute first for safety).
  8. Place skewers on the preheated grill.
  9. Grill for about 15 minutes, turning occasionally and brushing with reserved marinade to keep moist and enhance flavor.
  10. Add cherry tomatoes to the ends of the skewers during the last 3-4 minutes of grilling to prevent them from burning.
  11. Remove from grill when beef reaches desired doneness and vegetables are tender-crisp.
  12. Let rest for 2 minutes before serving hot.
