Rib Eye Kabobs
These grilled marinated rib eyes kabobs are bursting with flavor. You can marinate them for 15 minutes and still get an amazing taste or all day for a deeper, richer taste. These little “steaks on a stick”…what my kids call them, get caramelized on the edges from the brown sugar addition in the marinade. They happen to be one of my kids favorite things to have for dinner!
I was first inspired by a similar recipe done by Paula Deen and Bobby Flay. This is actually a very popular recipe. I added scallions and a bit more brown sugar and garlic to the recipe as always I need to tweak it to my own perfection. This recipe is unbelievably easy and so delicious once you try it you will have it as a go to marinade especially now that summer BBQ’s are here! You won’t even want to dip with these rib eye kabobs into a sauce of sorts because you’ll love them just as they are.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 lbs. rib eye streak or sirloin tips
- 1/4 cup Tamari Sauce (it’s a darker, slightly more concentrated and thicker then soy) OR 1/2 cup of Kikkoman reduced sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 crushed garlic cloves
- 2 green onion scallions – 1/4″ slices
- pkg of wooden skewers
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsn olive oil
- OPTIONAL: 1 recipe Green goddess sauce
Directions:
- Put wooden skewers in a dish of water to soak (so they are less likely to burn on the grill)
- Slice Sirloin tips or ribeye into strips length wise so they are about 1 1/2″ wide, 1/4-1/2 thick and 3.0″ long pieces
- Cut a 15″ x 16″ piece of parchment OR you can use a large Ziploc baggie
- Place 4 steak strips in between the layers at a time
- Pound out steak strips to 1/8″ thickness…they will almost dbl in size to .125″(1/8″) x 2.25″ x 5.0″
- In a medium/large bowl add tamari sauce, brown sugar, water, garlic, and scallions and steak strips
- Cover and marinate from 15 minutes to all day
- Take the marinated steak pieces out and dry them off on Bounty paper towels (you don’t want t paper towels to fall about and stick to the steak strips…so use Bounty)
- Take the skewers and pat those dry
- Begin to thread each piece of meat with the skewer right down the middle
- You will get about 20 skewered steak strips
- Sprinkle 1/4 tsp salt on each side
- Add 1 Tbsp olive oil to lightly coat
- Add the skewered steak to a hot grill lining up the skewers so that the wooden ends overlap over another piece of meat…see photo above for line up
- Sear for 3 minutes on each side til caramelized on the edges
- Mangia!
