Ingredients
  

For the Marinade
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
For the Kabobs
  • 2 pounds top sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes Substitute with ribeye or flank steak if preferred.
  • 8 ounces button mushrooms, halved if large
  • 1 large red onion, cut into chunks
  • metal skewers or wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice until combined.
  2. Add the minced garlic, brown sugar, paprika, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Whisk again until everything looks evenly blended.
  3. Set aside about a quarter cup of the marinade separately for basting later.
  4. Place the cubed steak into a large bowl or gallon-sized zip-top bag, then pour the marinade over it. Toss to coat and refrigerate for at least one hour, up to eight hours.
  5. Cut the bell peppers, mushrooms, and red onion into sizes similar to your steak cubes.
  6. Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes if using wooden skewers.
Grilling
  1. Once the steak has marinated, remove it from the fridge and thread the steak and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating pieces.
  2. Preheat the grill to high heat and cook the kabobs for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning every couple of minutes.
  3. The meat should reach an internal temperature of about 135°F for medium-rare.
Serving
  1. Transfer the finished kabobs to a platter and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
  2. Serve the kabobs hot, directly from the platter.

Notes

Cut steak and vegetables into uniform sizes for even cooking. Soak wooden skewers before grilling to prevent burning.
