See exact quantities on recipe card.
Instructions
Trim the fat from the sirloin and cut into 1 inch squares. In a glass dish or a zip top baggie add all ingredients except fresh veggie and steak. Shake to combine the marinade. Then add the steak. Let marinate for about 30 minutes. When ready to grill, preheat the grill to 400 degrees. Thread the steak and onions on to the skewers. I actually weigh mine so that I know all the skewers have a good serving size (between 6-8 ounces usually depending on who I am feeding).
Add the skewers to the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes total. I flip mine at 4 minutes and at 8 minutes I check the temperature, as I like my kabobs at medium. See the box below for temperature of doneness. Remember the temp will increase a few degrees even after coming off of grill.

Storage
These are usually eaten all the night of! But if I do have left overs they store great in an airtight container for 3-4 days in the refrigerator. Making them perfect for meal prep!
