Ingredients
  

Steak and shrimp kabobs
  • 1 lb sirloin steak Cubed
  • 1 lb large shrimp Peeled; use for threading
  • 1 bell peppers and onions Cut into chunks for skewering
  • 1 wooden or metal skewers Soak wooden skewers if using
Garlic butter
  • 6 tbsp butter Melted
  • 4 garlic Minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley Chopped
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice Freshly squeezed
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp pepper

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 grill

Method
 

Make the garlic butter
  1. Stir melted butter, garlic, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until evenly combined, then set aside.
  2. Reserve half of the garlic butter in a separate small container for basting.
Marinate
  1. Coat the cubed sirloin steak and peeled shrimp with the remaining garlic butter, then cover and marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
Assemble the kabobs
  1. Thread steak, shrimp, and bell peppers and onions alternately onto skewers, leaving a little space between pieces for even grilling.
Grill and baste
  1. Grill the kabobs over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, basting during grilling with the reserved garlic butter until steak is cooked through and shrimp are pink.
Serve
  1. Serve immediately while the garlic butter is still glossy.

Notes

For the best sear, pat the shrimp and steak dry after marinating so the garlic butter caramelizes instead of steaming. Refrigerate leftovers up to 3 days; freeze cooked kabobs up to 1 month for best texture. For a lighter option, swap half the butter for olive oil (still reserve and baste as directed) to reduce saturated fat while keeping the garlic flavor.
