Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin or tenderloin steak cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper cut into chunks
- 1 yellow bell pepper cut into chunks
- 1 small red onion cut into chunks
- 8-10 cherry tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3-4 minced garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 metal or pre-soaked wooden skewers
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Marinate the Steak: Add the steak cubes to the marinade and stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the steak is marinating, cut the vegetables into chunks, making sure they are the same size for even cooking.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Thread the marinated steak cubes and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between meat and veggies.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for 5 minutes.
- Cook the Kabobs: Place the skewers in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd. Cook for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, flipping halfway through. For medium, cook for 12-15 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your flavorful and juicy steak kabobs!
Notes
- Marinating: For the best results, marinate your steak for at least 2-4 hours or overnight. The longer the marinade, the more flavor your steak will absorb.
- Vegetable Options: Feel free to add or substitute vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms, or even pineapple for a unique twist.
- Doneness: For rare kabobs, aim for 8-10 minutes of cooking time. Always use a meat thermometer to ensure your steak is cooked to your preferred doneness (125°F for rare, 135°F for medium-rare, and 145°F for medium).
- Storage: Leftover kabobs can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore their flavor and crispness.
