Description: Recipe video above. Using a marinade infuses the beef with flavour as well as tenderising so you'll have juicy steak pieces even if you opt for a more economical cut of beef. Use the reserved marinade to baste the kabobs as they cook for extra flavour! Buy the beef in a block so you can cut them into large cubes. Makes 8 skewers.

Ingredients

750g / 1.5 lb beef tri-tip (, sirloin steak tips or other steak cut, (Note 1)
3 capsicum / bell peppers (red, yellow green)
1 large red onion
16 small mushrooms (, 3.25cm / 1.3" wide)
1 tsp minced garlic (2 large garlic clove)
1 tsp onion powder (or sub with garlic powder)
2 1/2 tbsp soy sauce (Note 2)
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp vegetable oil (or other neutral flavoured oil)
1/4 tsp black pepper
16 flat metal skewers (, 25 - 30cm / 10 - 12" (Note 3)
Olive oil (, for drizzling and cooking)
Finely chopped parsley (, garnish (optional)

Instructions

Cut the beef into 3.25cm / 1.3" wide cubes.
Mix Marinade in a bowl. Add beef. Marinate for 1 - 24 hours, minimum 20 minutes.
Cut capsicum and onion into 3.25cm / 1.3" wide squares.
Thread beef (reserve Marinade), vegetables and mushrooms on each skewer. I use 2 pieces of vegetables between each piece of beef. Thread loosely - don't smush together tightly (helps even cooking).
Brush kebabs lightly with Reserved Marinade (including vegetables), then drizzle with olive oil.
Heat BBQ or large skillet over high heat. Add 1 tbsp oil, then when smoking, cook kebabs in batches for 2 minutes on each side until slightly charred (4 sides = 8 minutes in total), basting with Reserved Marinade as you go.
Transfer to plate, cover loosely with foil and rest for 3 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired. See note for pictured Pink Dipping Sauce.
