Description
Prepare flavorful steak and vegetable skewers finished with a rich, garlicky, herbed compound butter.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 yellow onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, whole
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 12 wooden or metal skewers
- For the Cowboy Butter:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Soften the butter for the Cowboy Butter. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, minced garlic, parsley, chives, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until fully incorporated. Set aside.
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large bowl, toss the steak cubes, bell pepper, onion pieces, and mushrooms with the olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Thread the steak and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating ingredients.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F). Lightly oil the grates.
- Place the skewers on the hot grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare steak, turning them carefully.
- During the last 2 minutes of cooking, brush the Cowboy Butter generously over all sides of the skewers. The butter will melt and baste the meat and vegetables.
- Remove the skewers from the grill when the steak reaches your desired doneness.
- Serve immediately, with any remaining Cowboy Butter on the side for dipping or drizzling.
Notes
- For extra smoky flavor, add a small piece of soaked wood chip packet to your grill coals or smoker box.
- You can substitute the sirloin steak with beef tenderloin or firm halloumi cheese for a vegetarian option.
- Make the Cowboy Butter up to three days ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator. Allow it to soften slightly before using.
