Steak and Potato Kabobs
Everyone’s favorite summer meal! The meat comes out so amazingly tender and flavorful with the fresh garlicky-herb mixture!
Yay for summer!
Well, kind of. It gets super hot in Los Angeles.
So hot that I just stay inside the house by the AC vents, while Ben fires up the grill in the 110 degree heat.
I do all the hard parts though.
I cut up the meat, cut up the veggies, and put them onto the skewers ever so perfectly.
Because my OCD takes over here.
Ben, on the other hand, would just pile up everything without any kind of order or pattern.
Sorry, but no.
Now what I really love about this recipe is that it doesn’t require a marinade.
All you need is some olive oil, garlic and some fresh herbs – rosemary, thyme, or any other kind of herbs you like.
That’s it!
The meat comes out to grilled-tender perfection with the rest of your veggies!

Simple and delicious!! I did nit have fresh herbs and it was still a success! Will be making this regularly.
Super easy, very good, and a big hit at dinner.
Can I use tenderloin instead?Â
What a great idea! But unfortunately, without having tried this myself, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment when making substitutions and modifications.
I was wondering if there is a way to freeze this recipe, either grill everything and then freeze or freeze while still raw. What would be the best option?Â
Unfortunately, we cannot answer this with certainty as we have never tried freezing this ourselves. Please use your best judgment for freezing and reheating.
Should I leave the grill open or closed?
We only tenderloin and it is delicious. 🙂
We also did a shortcut and used the small bite size potato pkgs and microwave just under the required time. Works perfect ever time!
I microwaved the potatoes (hated to heat up the kitchen with boiling water) for 2 minutes on high. Worked great and so much less effort!
Do you have to eat immediately, I want to do these for labor day, but they need to be prepared before everyone arrives. Thanks ☺
Yes, this is truly best when served immediately.
I’m probably only one with this question, I don’t have a grill, usually I use pan or oven broiler for these types of recipes. Any directions temperature and oven setting if placing on pan in broiler of oven? Thank you!
A broiler sounds like a great idea! But unfortunately, without further recipe testing, I cannot answer with certainty. As always, please use your best judgment regarding substitutions and modifications.
I’m normally just a meat and pepper and onion type of kabob person, but I’m going to have to throw on some potatoes and try this!
LOOKS GREAT & I LOVE AN ALL-IN-ONE” HOT SPOT” … SO YOU CAN PREP OTHER STUFF EARLIER TO SERVE COLD WITH YOUR MAIN FOCUS. QUESTION …….. THE STEAK LOOKS SO MUCH BIGGER THAN THE SUGGESTED INCH. THE SPUDS WOULD HAVE TO BE THE SIZE OF PEAS TO LOOK LIKE THE PHOTO. DO YOU JUST UP THE SIZE FOR THE BEST PHOTO PRESENTATION. YOU WOULS ALSO NEED SO MANY SKEWERS TO ACCOMODATE 1 INCH CUBES WITH 3 TO A SKEWER !!! PLEASE STRAIGHTEN ME OUT !!!
HI TONI!!!!! Everything is made as written in the recipe. You can always cut the steak into smaller pieces if you prefer. If you can’t find the baby potatoes, you can use regular sized potatoes, diced really small. Hope that helps!
You said this does not required a marinade. Yet, you wrote:
“All you need is some olive oil, garlic and some fresh herbs – rosemary, thyme, or any other kind of herbs you like.” Isn’t this a marinade?
Kyle, a marinade is a liquid solution in which you soak foods, typically 4-8 hrs, or overnight. The kabobs are not marinating in this olive oil mixture – it’s simply brushed on. Hope that makes sense! 🙂
I cannot wait to try this!! Kabobs are one of my favorite things to cook in summer. We get that Iowa heat! And I agree, order is key. Thanks for the recipe!
These. Look. Amazing. No marinade? That’s definitely a pro for me, most dinners are figured out on a whim with no time to marinade! Looking forward to trying it this weekend. Thanks for the post!
Love that there’s no marinade too because I always forget to prep that and am scrambling last minute. These look amazing! I’m more of a slapdash kebab styler myself, so I’ll admire your great pics and eat mine as more of a hot mess style, hehe. Thanks for sharing!
