How to Make Perfect Easy Beef Kebabs

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and black pepper.
  2. Cut your chosen beef into 1-inch cubes. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are coated evenly.
  3. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours. The longer it marinates, the more flavorful your kebabs will be!
  4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  5. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto skewers. Leave a little space between each piece for even cooking.
  6. Grill the kebabs for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare. Use a meat thermometer to ensure accuracy.
  7. Remove from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
