BEEF SHISH KABOBS (with the best marinade) for the ultimate summer grilling recipe!
Beef shish kabobs are the ultimate summer grilling recipe. Juicy and tender sirloin steak is soaked in the best beef marinade, then threaded on skewers with onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms before being tossed on a hot grill for a quick 15 minutes until perfectly browned. Hello, summer cookouts and dinner parties!
I've been fortunate enough to have traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and have eaten numerous versions of shish kabobs (also spelled shish kebab). And if you go beyond the Middle East, different cultures have their own twist on it with a variety of marinades, veggies, and meats such as lamb, pork, or chicken. But today I'm highlighting a classic beef shish kabob recipe threaded with chunky steak bites and colorful sliced vegetables.

Stuffed Steak Rolls
Here is what you will need!
Makes 6
Ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 sweet onions, such as Vidalia, chopped
2 cups mushrooms, thinly sliced
½ tablespoon kosher salt
½ tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds flank steak
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 (4-ounce) package baby spinach
9 slices Provolone cheese
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Combine the garlic, onions, mushrooms, salt, and pepper in the pan and cook until almost all of the moisture has evaporated and the onions are caramelizing, 15-20 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Lay the flank steak on a cutting board. Spoon the mushroom and onion mixture on top, spreading it evenly across the steak. Sprinkle the spinach on top, followed by the slices of Provolone. Press down lightly to compress the spinach. Starting at the bottom of the flank steak, roll it up tightly, making sure the grain of the meat is running horizontally. Use 6 toothpicks to secure the steak roll. Slice the steak roll into 6 equal rolls.
Heat the remaining oil in a pan over high heat. Sear the steak rolls on one side for 1-2 minutes, then flip. Sear the second side for about 1 minute, then bake for 10-15 minutes, until medium-rare.
Remove the toothpicks, then serve!
