These low-carb keto beef kabobs are super easy to make on the grill or in the oven and the straight forward marinade ingredients is my favorite go-to keto recipe. This is a great option for those on a low-carb diet or keto diet. Two grilled steak kabobs are just 8g net carbs!
Grill season is here and it’s time to crank out the steak shish kabobs! There’s nothing quite like a good steak kabob recipe to start your barbecuing off on the right foot.
No low-carb sweeteners or even soy sauce needed for this easy recipe – just olive oil, lemon juice, dijon, garlic, a little vinegar and new herbs, so simple and oh so good.
Kebab or Kabob?
The only difference between kabob and kebab is literally the spelling. They mean the same exact thing and that is preparing chunks of meat on a skewer and grilling it.
Kabob is used in countries like Iran or Armenia and kebab is used in Arabic speaking countries like Lebanon and Syria.
The traditional meat in kabob is lamb meat grilled on a skewer. When you hear the term shish kabob it is often referring to kebabs made with chicken.
Nowadays it’s common to use the spelling interchangeably and recipes include many meat varieties as well as vegetables on skewers.
Wooden Skewers or Metal Skewers?
Metal skewers are best as you can reuse them and they don’t require to be soaked like wooden skewers.
But wooden skewers are cheaper and can be thrown away, so no washing needed like when utilizing metal skewers.
If using wooden skewers, place skewers in a 9 by 13 dish and cover with water. Soak in water for 1 hour to prevent burning.
Best Cut of Beef
The very best cut of beef for skewers is filet mignon which is a lean beef but is expensive. Next best option that is more budget friendly is top sirloin steak. Other good options are flat iron steak and strip steak.
How to Make Oven-Baked Beef Skewers
Place all the ingredients for the marinade in a big mixing bowl and stir to combine.
Season beef with salt and pepper.
Add beef and ?rds of the marinade to a ziplock bag and permit to marinade for 1 hour, or overnight. Set aside the remaining dressing to add after cooking.
If using wooden skewers, soak for 1 hour to prevent burning.
Preheat the oven to 400F / 200C / 180 fan and line a vast baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
Remove beef from the marinade. Alternate threading the beef, peppers, onions and mushrooms onto every skewer, about 3 pieces of beef and every vegetable for each kebab.
Add the kabobs to the baking sheet, drizzle with some of the marinade from the bag and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the beef reaches an inner temperature of 145F. Total cooking time will adjust depending on the thickness of your steak cubes.
Remove the kabobs from the oven and drizzle with the remaining set aside marinade and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
How to Meal Prep Shish Kebabs
This is a perfect meal for making ahead. I’d recommend slicing your beef into 1-inch cubes and mixing up the marinade in a bowl, add the steak cubes and cover.
Keep refrigerated. You can do this up to 24 hours in advance.
I’d also recommend prepping all the veggies so they are ready to go when you are ready to add them to a skewer and cook these beef kebabs in the oven or on the grill.
How to Store
Store in an airtight container in the Fridge for 3 days or freezer for 2 months.
What to Serve With Beef Kabobs
