Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
-
1 lb beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
-
1/4 cup sriracha sauce
-
1/4 cup honey
-
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
2 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
1 onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
-
Skewers (metal or soaked wooden)
Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Marinade
In a medium bowl, whisk together sriracha sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. The sriracha gives a spicy kick, while the honey and mustard balance out the heat with sweetness and tang.
Step 2: Marinate the Beef
Place the beef cubes in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring it’s well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to 4 hours. The longer the beef marinates, the more flavor it will absorb.
Step 3: Prepare the Skewers
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While the grill is heating up, thread the marinated beef onto skewers, alternating with pieces of red and yellow bell peppers and onion. This adds both flavor and color to the kebabs.
Step 4: Grill the Kebabs
Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness. The exact time depends on how you like your steak—less time for medium-rare, and longer if you prefer it well-done.
Step 5: Let Rest and Serve
Once the kebabs are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute and ensures your beef stays juicy and tender.

FAQs
Can I use a different cut of beef?
Yes, you can use other cuts like flank steak or ribeye, but sirloin is great for kebabs because it’s tender and holds up well on the grill.
How do I know when the beef is done?
For medium-rare beef, cook for about 3-4 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to check for the desired internal temperature: 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare, 140°F (60°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
Can I make the marinade ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the marinade in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. This allows the flavors to meld even more before marinating the beef.
Can I grill these kebabs in the oven?
Yes, if you don’t have a grill, you can broil the kebabs in the oven. Preheat the broiler and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your liking.
