Ingredients You’ll Need for Rosemary Garlic Steak Kebabs

1 pound steak (sirloin or ribeye)

3 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)

How to Make Rosemary Garlic Steak Kebabs

Marinate the Steak: Cut the steak into bite-sized cubes. In a large bowl, combine the steak with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes. Let those flavors meld together – you’ll thank yourself later!
Prepare the Potatoes: While the steak marinates, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and parboil for about 8-10 minutes, or until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside to cool.
Assemble the Skewers: Once everything is prepped, take your soaked skewers and start threading them. Begin with a cube of marinated steak, followed by a cherry tomato, and then a baby potato. Repeat this pattern until all ingredients are used up – the vibrant colors will make your heart sing!
Preheat the Grill: Get your grill nice and hot by preheating it to medium-high heat. You want those kebabs to sear beautifully.
Grill the Kebabs: Place the assembled skewers on the grill, cooking for about 10-12 minutes. Turn them occasionally to ensure an even cook. You’re looking for a lovely golden crust on the outside while keeping that steak tender and juicy on the inside.
Serve and Enjoy: Once done, carefully remove the kebabs from the grill. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad. There’s just something magical about the first bite!

Fun Ways to Customize It

Zesty Marinade: Add a splash of lemon juice or balsamic vinegar to the marinade for a zesty twist. It enhances the flavors and gives a delightful acidity.
Vegetable Medley: Feel free to swap in bell peppers, red onions, or zucchini to the skewers for a colorful twist. The grill caramelizes veggies perfectly!
Spicy Kick: Sprinkle some red pepper flakes or drizzle with a spicy sauce for those who love a little heat.
Cheesy Goodness: Add a sprinkle of blue cheese or feta on top upon serving for a rich, indulgent finish.
