No marinating necessary! These Grilled Steak Kabobs with mushrooms and a tangy blue cheese sauce are a fast, satisfying weeknight dinner the whole family will enjoy. Ready in under 20 minutes, they’re also ideal for casual entertaining.
Grilled Steak Kabobs
With summer approaching, it’s the perfect time to fire up the grill. One of the best things about outdoor cooking is how little cleanup it requires and how it keeps the kitchen cool and tidy. Even better: food on sticks feels festive and fun.
These easy grilled steak kabobs pair tender sirloin with mushrooms and red onion, brushed with a simple oil-and-spice mixture and served with a creamy blue cheese dipping sauce. They’re straightforward to prepare and pair well with a crisp wedge salad and grilled potatoes for a complete meal.
How to Make the Kabobs
These kabobs are designed to be fast—no long marinade required. If you have extra time, a quick soak in your favorite steak marinade will add flavor, but the recipe works beautifully without it.
- Soak wooden skewers for 20–30 minutes.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
- Cut sirloin into bite-sized cubes.
- Thread steak, mushrooms and red onion onto the skewers, alternating pieces.
- Whisk together olive oil, garlic powder, kosher salt and black pepper, then brush the mixture over each kabob.
- Grill kabobs 3–4 minutes per side, depending on thickness and desired doneness.
- Transfer to a platter and let rest for about 5 minutes before serving with blue cheese dressing for dipping.
What Cut of Beef to Use
Sirloin is an excellent choice: it’s lean, flavorful and holds up well on the grill without extended marinating. Cut across the grain into even cubes so each bite stays tender. If you prefer, other tender cuts can be used, but sirloin gives good value and great texture.
