❤️ Why You'll Love It

  • An easy meal that takes about 5 minutes to prep.
  • Food on skewers has its own charm making everybody rush to the dinner table.
  • Great for cookout, potluck, weekend or weeknight dinners.
  • No grill?, no problem, I will give you oven instructions as well.

Shish kabob/kebab has been in the Middle East since ages, chunks of beef and veggie skewers that are usually cooked over a charcoal grill and served over a bed of rice or with pita bread, so delicious and eye catching.

📝 Ingredients

Ingredients for shish kebab on a white surface.
  • Beef steak cut into 1 inch cubes, I like using sirloin but other cuts can be used too. Check out the FAQ section below for more on that.
  • Lemon juice, vinegar, yellow mustard and yogurt. This mix is used to tenderize the meat especially if you are using economical beef cuts.
  • Soy and Worcestershire sauces brings the savoriness and really enhances the beefy flavor regardless of the beef cut you are using.
  • Oil helps the marinade flavor to penetrate the meat.
  • Garlic, black pepper, cardamom and cinnamon are all a must in Middle Eastern kitchen.
  • For the veggie skewers, use a variety of vegetables. I've used pearl onions, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and mini peppers. Sometimes I used red onions and green bell peppers.

🥄 Instructions

Note: This is an overview of the instructions. The detailed instructions are in the recipe card below.

  • In a medium bowl or a zip lock bag, add the marinade ingredients and mix well. Take some of the marinade and put in a container, refrigerate.
  • Add cubed meat to the container and mix everything well together.
  • Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and up to 12 hour.
  • Take out the container that we reserved earlier, and pour it in another zip lock bag, mix in the veggies and marinate for 30 minutes to one hour.

This Shish kabob recipe can also be made with wooden skewers.
  • When ready to grill, thread meat in skewers then grill as directed below.

💡 Expert Tips

  • Do use fresh garlic in this recipe: it really makes a huge difference and I would not recommend garlic powder.
  • This is a yogurt based marinade as many of the Middle Eastern marinade, so do not be afraid of using yogurt and let it marinate all this time, it is really very good.
  • Use a good olive oil if possible: I've tried it before with vegetable oil and I could taste a big difference. Oil is used as a flavor facilitator as the herbs used release their flavors best in oil.
  • Give it enough time, let the beef marinate overnight when possible, sometimes I can get away with 4-5 hours depending on the beef cut.
  • This recipe calls for a good amount of soy sauce, so really no need for salt. Use soy sauce as a flavor enhancer for more complex flavor.
  • Marinate veggies separately and thread them on different skewers as cooking time is drastically different between veggies and meat, even between different kinds of veggies.

Shish Kabob In The Oven

  • place two oven racks one in the middle and one near the top turn your broiler on high and broil meat skewers 3 minutes on each side. Please use metal skewers as bamboo might catch fire.
    • Turn oven on 400F, Place the skewers on the middle of the oven and cook to desired doneness.
    • With my oven I have noticed the following times :
      • 8 minutes for medium rare, 13 for medium, 18 minutes for medium well and 28-35 minutes for well done. Make sure to re-arrange the skewers once in the middle of cooking so all the skewers be cooked the same.

🍽️ Serve With

Shish kabob side dishes

Kabobs are usually served with a plethora of dips and spreads along with Basmati rice, and sometime yellow rice. Tahini, baba ganoush and hummus are great choices and the most common to serve with kebabs in Egypt. Serve with a green salad or make this amazing Egyptian salad to go with any kabob you make. You might also try these Mediterranean roasted ( or grilled) vegetables.

  • Serve it with a side of salad like potato salad, or get the full experience with this Egyptian Salad.
  • I like serving heavy meaty meals with this Ayran, an easy salty Turkish yogurt drink to ease with digestion.
  • Need a starchy, creamy side? Try this Ditalini Pasta Salad.
  • Air Fryer Frozen Broccoli is an easy side to make and complements this recipe so well.

💬 FAQs

What meat is best for beef kabob?

The most asked question is what kind of meat to use. I used to be a fan of the beef tenderloin. It works great but the price is high for this cut of beef, so if there is no deal on them, I leave it there. Now I mostly use sirloin, it is not as pricey as the tenderloin, more beefy and I can find it already cut.

How do you cook shish kabob?

Usually shish kabob is grilled on an outdoor grill. for oven, it is suggested that you broil the skewers for 4-5 minutes on high turning them once to the other side. For oven instructions please see the recipe below.

Can you prepare kabobs the night before?

I highly advice you to do so. Two hours in the marinade is sufficient to achieve some flavor. But good 8 hours are best for the marinade to sink in. Marinating for 12 hour is even better.

Notes

  • Just wanted to mention that one of the readers complained that the marinade was very acidic for them, so I suggest cutting back the lemon and vinegar by half and test the marinade yourself, if you feel it is not tangy enough then add the rest of the lemon and vinegar. I've tested this recipe in several occasions and never got any problem with it.

    • place two oven racks one in the middle and one near the top turn your broiler on high and broil meat skewers 3 minutes on each side. Please use metal skewers as bamboo might catch fire.

Summer is all about grilling, right? keep burgers and hot dogs in the freezer for now and let's try some beef shish kabobs. We always end up with flavored, well balanced and tender beef skewers. The acidity in the marinade helps tenderize the meat perfectly.
I've prepared this on the grill and sometimes in the oven when it is snowing or raining out there, it is good either ways.

      It developed through the years Randa, of course this is something that my grandma didn't use for example but my sisters added to the recipe. If you look closely you will find mustard too which is my mom's personal touch to this recipe, she loves mustard 🙂 but definitely something that was not even a thing in my grandmother's kitchen. If you do not like soy sauce feel free to skip and adjust the recipe to your liking dear.

    I tried this last night, minus the garlic (can't eat it, sad to say) and worstershire sauce (didn't have any). It was fantastic - this will be a standard recipe for me from now on. Oh, I added a good dash of sumac, one of my most favorite additions to my spice cabinet.

    Btw, I never buy any beef except whatever is on sale locally. I cut the beef in my desired pieces, needle it with a needle meat tenderizer, and then add about a half teaspoon of baking soda (Chinese chef trick!) per pound. This should marinate at least a half hour.

    My $2.50/lb roast made great steak tips!

      Well, I hope you'll like it. For the oven method, I like stacking them on an oven dish, cover with aluminum foil until it is almost done and tender. Then I finish them up on a rack in the oven or if you have an indoor grill put them there just to get the grilling marks.

    I made this last night and followed the recipe exactly, and marinated for 10 hours using Sirloin and found the marinade way too acidic unfortunately with the high ratio of vinegar/lime juice and yogurt compared to the rest of the marinade. This has 2-3 times the acid ratio of a typical marinade and was a bit unbalanced for us, unfortunately.

I will mention your comment in the recipe notes so people will know your opinion and adjust the recipe regarding the acidity. Thank you for your feedback.

        I came across your recipe and looked in the comment section to note any suggestions. I just say, whenever I look at online recipes and see negative comments or even just honest feedback, many, if not all, bloggers tend to not respond or get insulted. Your response showed class and your mention of noting this in your own recipe, really sets you apart from other bloggers. I plan to make your recipe, but thought I’d give some feedback at the kind of person you are first. It may be insignificant to anyone else, but to me, it really shows your character, and i appreciate that. If only there were more respectful people like you in this world. Keep doing that you’re doing. Xo

          Oh Jena, you are so sweet. It is understandable though that our taste buds are different, I came from a region where they use spices heavily and love tart stuff, which is obviously not for everyone. I like it when people share their own experience with a recipe as this might help many others as well, it is always good to have different opinions as long as we maintain mutual respect. Thanks again and I hope you'll like this recipe

    I often use yogurt or soy sauce in marinades all the time, but don't believe I've ever used them together. Have to try this! This does look most excellent, and who doesn't love a kabob? I've yet to meet that person! Good stuff -- thanks.

    Hello Amira,

    These look so yummy. I'm going to try them with lamb. Another great recipe I'm sure. May God bless you and your family.

        What type of beef would you suggest? Would Chuck roast work? thanks

          Judy, thanks for being interested in the recipe. I actually experiment a lot, using whatever cut I can get a good deal on at the market, and I use mostly sirloin and ribeye. If we want to splurge, I use big chunks of filet mignon. I did not use chuck roast in kebab, I only use chuck for stews and pot roast. My guess is it will be tough, although flavorful. I hope this will answer your question, if you need anymore help please do not hesitate.
