Steak options
Sirloin it is the cheapest cut for a kebab. This is your all-purpose meat and will be a great choice. For the most tender option possible, we recommend choosing a Filet mignon (also known as thread). These are my favourites. They will be super tender every time, even if you accidentally overcook them.
Other alternatives are New York Strip AND Ribeye. However, if you use ribeye, watch out for any large pieces of fat in your morsels.
Alternative to the grill
Although beef skewers are traditionally grilled, you can also prepare them on the stovetop using a grill pan or heavy skillet. Just like the grill, you will preheat the pan over high heat. Grill skewers in pan over high heat until meat reaches desired doneness, rotating every few minutes. Be careful not to crowd the pan.
Skewers
You can use metal or bamboo skewers. If you plan to use bamboo, be sure to soak it in water for at least 30 minutes before using. If you use metal, be cautious and always use tongs or heat shields when handling them.
Internal cooking
Checking the internal cooking of the meat is essential for perfect grilling. Check out our complete guide to How to Grill Steak Perfectly Every Time which gives you step-by-step instructions for delicious grilling every time. For medium-rare, you’re looking for 130 degrees Fahrenheit.
Make it a freezer meal
You can make a frozen meal with the skewers so they are ready on the go. Simply prepare the meat and freeze it in the marinade in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag. When you’re ready to make the skewers, remove the frozen bag from the freezer and place it on a plate in the refrigerator overnight until it thaws.
Instructions for storage and heating
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to four days after removing the meat from the sticks.
Heat placing meat cubes in a skillet with 1 teaspoon butter over medium-low heat. Mix until they reach the desired temperature.
