CLASSIC BBQ BEEF SKEWERS

Classic BBQ Beef Skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that brings smoky, sweet and savoury flavours together. Tender cubes of lean beef are marinated in a rich BBQ sauce, olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder and smoked paprika, then grilled to perfection alongside colourful red bell peppers and onions, creating a beautifully charred and flavorful meal. Whether you’re firing up the grill for a backyard cookout or preparing a quick and hearty meal indoors, these skewers are sure to impress. The combination of juicy beef, caramelized onions and smoky BBQ sauce delivers a satisfying bite with every mouthful. Serve with a side of grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or a warm serving of rice for a well-balanced meal. Perfect for casual gatherings, summer BBQs, or an easy weeknight dinner, these skewers offer a protein-packed dish that’s both nutritious and full of flavour.

PREPARATION

  • Prepare the marinade: In a small bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt and black pepper. Mix well.
  • Marinate the beef: Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is well coated. Let it rest for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavours.
  • Assemble the skewers: Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, alternating with pieces of red bell pepper and onion.
  • Preheat the grill: Heat a grill or grill pan over a medium-high flame. Lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.
  • Grill the skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is browned and cooked to your desired doneness.
  • Serve and enjoy: Remove from the grill and let rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot with additional BBQ sauce or your favourite side dishes.

COOKING TIME

TIPS

  • Use high-quality beef: Lean cuts like sirloin or tenderloin work best for tender, juicy skewers.
  • Soak wooden skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • Let the beef marinate longer: For deeper flavour, marinate the beef for at least 30 minutes or even overnight.
  • Control grill temperature: Keep the heat at medium-high to ensure a good sear while preventing overcooking.
  • Baste for extra flavour: Brush extra BBQ sauce on the skewers during the last minute of grilling for a caramelized, smoky glaze.

VARIATIONS

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chilli flakes to the marinade for extra heat.
  • Teriyaki Twist: Replace BBQ sauce with teriyaki sauce and sprinkle sesame seeds for an Asian-inspired version.
  • Vegetable Additions: Try adding mushrooms, cherry tomatoes or zucchini for more variety.
  • Cheesy Option: Sprinkle grated parmesan or crumbled feta over the skewers before serving.
  • Sweet and Tangy: Mix honey or pineapple juice into the marinade for a sweet, tangy touch.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store leftover skewers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a pan or oven for best results.
  • Freezing: Marinate and freeze the beef for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before grilling.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Pre-assemble the skewers and store them in the fridge for up to 24 hours before grilling.
