When I am craving a smoked steak during the week, these easy smoked steak kabobs are the ticket! The kabobs only need to go on the smoker for 60-90 minutes, so everyone is fueled up during those busy weeknights.

Tender, mouthwatering pieces of marinated steak and smoked vegetables are a hit every time I make them and the fact that each skewer has a hearty helping of veggies and protein, well that’s just a bonus!

These smoked kabobs feel fancy and are packed with so much flavor that I love to serve them while entertaining throughout the summer months. I can prepare the steak kabobs before guests arrive, and enjoy a few appetizers and drinks while they are on the smoker, there’s barely anything to it!

Key Ingredients

• Sirloin steak – I think the best steak for kabobs is a sirloin. It’s lean and budget friendly. Other cuts I use are ribeye, flat iron or strip steak.
• Vegetables – I used a mixture of bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms, but use whatever you love or already have in the refrigerator. Cut veggies into similar-sized pieces for even cooking.
• Garlic steak marinade – This is a homemade marinade I enjoy but storebought marinade works great too!

Find the ingredient list with exact measurements in the recipe card below.

Smoking Steak Kabobs

1. Marinate steak. Pour the marinade in a resealable container. Add the cubed sirloin steak and allow to marinate at least 30 minutes or overnight in the fridge.
2. Assemble skewers. Add marinated steak and chopped vegetables to skewers. Baste prepared skewers with leftover marinade.
3. Smoke. Place sirloin steak kabobs onto smoker grill grates 60-90 minutes, until the steak has reached your desired doneness, turning once about halfway through.

Serving Suggestions

A light and fluffy Smoked Baked Potato is always a great addition to this steak kabobs dish or maybe something a little different like Seasoned Smoked Potatoes.

Don’t forget you can make dessert on the smoker, too. A scoop of ice cream on warm Smoked Strawberry Crisp is amazing!

Equipment

• Smoker
• Grill tongs
• Skewers
• Instant read meat thermometer
• Cutting Board
• Chef's Knife
• Basting brush

Ingredients

• ▢ 2.5 pounds sirloin steak cut into 2-inch cubes
• ▢ 12 ounces steak marinade
• ▢ 1 medium red onion cut into chunks
• ▢ 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• ▢ 10 ounces Spanish olives
• ▢ 8 ounces baby portabella mushrooms
• ▢ 2 bell peppers cut into chunks

Instructions

• Pour the marinade into 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.
• If using wooden steak skewers soak them in water.
• Preheat the smoker according to manufacturer's directions to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Remove the steak from the marinade and set the marinade aside.
• Assemble the steak, onions, cherry tomatoes, olives, mushrooms, and peppers on the skewers.
• Spoon the leftover marinade over the prepared skewers, discard any remaining marinade.
• Smoke steak kabobs for 60-90 minutes, until the steak has reached your desired doneness, turning once about halfway through the smoking process.
• Remove from the smoker and serve immediately.

Tips

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

Freezer: Leftover steak can be frozen in an airtight container or freezer bag. Vegetables will be really soft once thawed, so I don’t recommend freezing them.

Reheat in the oven, wrapped in foil to retain moisture, for 20-30 minutes at 300 degrees Fahrenheit. 

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