Ingredients
Scale
Proteins
- 2 pounds top sirloin steak
- 1 pound large shrimp, uncooked, peeled, deveined
Marinade
- ¼ cup soy sauce or coconut aminos
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak: Cut the top sirloin steak into large, uniform pieces approximately 1¼ to 1½ inches in size to ensure even cooking on the grill.
- Marinate the Steak and Shrimp: In a gallon-sized Ziploc bag, combine the steak pieces, shrimp, and all marinade ingredients including soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes. Remove excess air, seal the bag, and massage the marinade evenly into the steak and shrimp. Refrigerate and marinate for at least 1 hour, flipping the bag occasionally for even coating.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Once marinated, thread the steak and shrimp alternately onto skewers to create a balanced mix of both proteins on each kabob.
- Grill the Kabobs: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill spaced apart for proper heat circulation. Grill each side for 3-5 minutes, flipping once, until the steak is cooked to your preferred doneness and shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Remove kabobs from grill and allow to rest a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Using uniform pieces of steak ensures even cooking.
- Marinate for at least 1 hour; overnight marination intensifies flavor.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
- Adjust grill time depending on steak thickness and shrimp size to avoid overcooking.
- Can substitute soy sauce with coconut aminos for a gluten-free option.
