Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Wagyu beef, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 onion, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Method:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
  2. Marinate the Beef:
    Add the Wagyu beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. Assemble the Kebabs:
    Thread the marinated Wagyu beef onto the skewers, alternating with the bell peppers, onion, and zucchini.
  4. Preheat the Grill:
    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
  5. Grill the Kebabs:
    Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender.
  6. Serve:
    Remove the kebabs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.

Tips for Perfect Grilling

For even cooking, ensure the grill is preheated to medium-high heat and the grates are well-oiled to prevent sticking. Turn the kebabs every few minutes for a nice char, and keep an eye on the vegetables to make sure they don’t overcook. Wagyu beef is best enjoyed medium-rare, so avoid overcooking to maintain its tenderness and juiciness. Let the kebabs rest for a few minutes after grilling to lock in the juices.
