Ingredients
Scale
Protein
- 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. This helps ensure even cooking when grilled.
- Marinate the Steak and Shrimp: In a gallon-sized zip-lock bag, combine the steak pieces, shrimp, and all marinade ingredients (soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, honey, sesame oil, garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, and crushed red pepper flakes). Remove excess air, seal the bag, and massage the marinade thoroughly into the steak and shrimp. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 1 hour, flipping the bag occasionally to ensure even coating.
- Assemble the Kabobs: Once marinated, thread the steak and shrimp alternately onto skewers to create balanced kabobs with a mix of protein on each skewer.
- Grill the Kabobs: Preheat a grill to medium-high heat. Place the assembled skewers on the grill, making sure they are spaced to allow proper heat circulation. Grill each side for 3-5 minutes, flipping once, until the steak is cooked to your preferred doneness and the shrimp are opaque and cooked through. Remove from the grill and allow the kabobs to rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- Be sure to cut the steak pieces uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Marinate for at least 1 hour but no more than 4 hours to prevent the seafood from becoming too soft.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to assembling to prevent burning on the grill.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
- Serve with a side of grilled vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
