Juicy Bourbon Mustard Steak Kebab Recipe Is What to Grill by 30Seconds Food

Kebabs are a quick and easy dinner on a stick that's perfect for weeknight dinners, entertaining on the weekends or cookouts. Marinating the meat before threading it onto the skewers is a simple way to not only impart flavor, but help marinate the meat so it is tender and juicy. This easy bourbon mustard steak kebab recipe packs a lot of flavor into tender pieces of steak. It's divine!

To make these juicy spirited marinated beef kebabs, you will need the following ingredients: steak (think sirloin, ribeye or tri-tip, though use whatever you like), olive oil, fresh thyme, fresh garlic, bourbon, brown sugar, whole-grain mustard, salt and black pepper. The simple marinade cooks on the stovetop for a few minutes before being cooled. Cooking it cooks off the alcohol from the bourbon, so you can serve this gluten-free dish to people of all ages.

Serve these tender beef kebabs for a flavorful dinner with your favorite side dishes. You could add fresh vegetables like red onion, mushrooms, peppers, zucchini or cherry tomatoes directly onto the skewers before grilling. Delicious!

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 - 2 pounds sirloin, ribeye or tri-tip, cut into chunks
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 sprigs fresh thyme
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2/3 cup bourbon
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
• 1/4 cup whole-grain mustard
• kosher salt and black pepper

Recipe Notes

• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading on the beef.

• Try this recipe with cubes or pork or chicken.

• If you don't have an outdoor grill, you could cook these kebabs on an indoor grill or in a grill pan or even cast iron skillet.

• Store any leftover kebabs in an airtight container in the fridge. 

Here's how to make it:

1. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Add the thyme and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until garlic softens, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and add the bourbon. Return the pan to the heat and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar and mustard. Add more salt and pepper, if desired. Remove from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Pour the marinade into a large bowl. Add the steak cubes and toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to overnight. 
3. When ready to cook, thread the beef onto skewers, alternating with a vegetable, if desired. Season with salt and black pepper.
4. Heat a grill to medium-high. Cook the kebabs until charred and steak is cooked to desired consistency, turning often, about 5 to 8 minutes.
