Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
- 500 grams Steak (sirloin or ribeye, cut into 1-inch cubes)
- 1 whole Red bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 whole Yellow bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 1 whole Red onion (cut into wedges)
- 60 ml Soy sauce
- 15 ml Sesame oil
- 30 ml Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 15 ml Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
- 2 stalks Green onion (sliced thinly, for garnish, optional)
- 8 pieces Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, and lime juice to create the oriental marinade.
Add the shrimp and steak cubes to the marinade. Toss to coat well, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate.
While the shrimp and steak are marinating, prepare the vegetables by cutting the bell peppers into 1-inch squares and the onion into wedges.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 200°C or 400°F). If using an oven, preheat the broiler.
Thread the marinated shrimp, steak cubes, and vegetables alternately onto skewers. Aim for a balanced distribution of flavors and colors on each skewer.
Brush the skewers lightly with any remaining marinade before grilling.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill or under the broiler. Cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness and shrimp are pink and opaque.
Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion slices, if desired. Serve hot with rice or noodles.
