Grilled Steak Skewers are a simple, satisfying way to bring bold, smoky flavor to your plate without overcomplicating dinner. The bite-sized pieces of beef cook quickly and evenly, and you get plenty of surface area for that perfect sear. Whether you’re feeding a crowd or just treating yourself, these skewers are a no-fuss way to get steak on the grill fast.
Helpful Tips
- Cut steak into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and avoid overdone edges with undercooked centers.
- Marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes (or overnight) to tenderize and boost flavor.
- Let the skewers rest for 5 minutes after grilling so the juices stay locked in when you take that first bite.
