How to Cook Beef Kabobs on Blackstone Griddle
Here are the simple steps for making
Step One: Begin by preparing the marinade. Combine the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, dried herbs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Whisk the ingredients together until well combined, creating a flavorful marinade for the steak.
Step Two: Place the beef steak cubes in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the steak, ensuring all the pieces are well coated.
Seal the bag or cover the dish, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. This marinating process allows the flavors to meld and the steak to become tender and infused with the delicious marinade.
Note: If you use wooden skewers, soak them in water for approximately 30 minutes before assembling the kebabs. This step prevents the skewers from burning during grilling.
Step Three: Prepare The Beef Kebabs Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat, ensuring it reaches the desired temperature before grilling the kebabs. Thread the marinated beef steak cubes onto the skewers, alternating with the bell peppers, onions, and any other vegetables you choose to include. This arrangement provides a beautiful combination of colors and flavors on each kebab. Lightly oil the griddle surface to prevent sticking. Carefully place the assembled kebabs on the hot griddle, ensuring enough space between them for cooking.
Step Four: Cook The Beef Kabobs On Blackstone Griddle Grill the kebabs for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking on all sides. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the steak cubes and your preferred level of doneness. Aim for medium-rare to medium for juicy and tender results, adjusting the cooking time accordingly. Once the steak is cooked to your desired level, remove the kebabs from the griddle and allow them to rest for a few minutes. This resting period allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring optimal tenderness and flavor.
Beef Kabobs on Blackstone Griddle Recipe Tips
- Marinate the steak: To enhance the flavor and tenderness of the steak, marinate it for at least an hour or overnight before grilling.
- Preheat the griddle: Ensure your Blackstone griddle is preheated to medium-high heat before placing the kabobs on the surface.
- Evenly cut the steak and vegetables: Cut the steak and vegetables into uniform sizes to ensure even cooking.
- Use skewers or kabob baskets: Skewers are a classic way to assemble kabobs, but you can also use kabob baskets that securely hold the ingredients.
- Oil the griddle surface: Before placing the kabobs on the griddle, lightly oil the surface to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
- Cook on high heat for a good sear: For a delicious crust and charred exterior, cook the kabobs on high heat for a few minutes, then reduce the heat to medium to finish cooking.
- Avoid overcrowding: Give each kabob enough space on the griddle to ensure proper heat circulation and even cooking.
- Baste with marinade or sauce: While grilling, baste the kabobs with the marinade or your favorite sauce to infuse them with additional flavor and moisture.
- Cook to the desired doneness: Be sure to use a meat thermometer to check the steak’s internal temperature. The USDA recommends cooking beef to a minimum internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 160°F (71°C) for medium doneness.
- Rest before serving: Once the steak kabobs are cooked to your desired doneness, remove them from the griddle and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
