Ingredients:

  • 1 lb Wagyu beef, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
  • 1 red onion, cut into chunks
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Method:

  1. Prepare the Marinade:
    In a bowl, mix olive oil, soy sauce, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the Wagyu beef cubes and toss to coat. Let the beef marinate for at least 15 minutes.

    Thread the marinated Wagyu beef cubes onto skewers, alternating with chunks of bell peppers, zucchini slices, and onion pieces.
  3. Grill the Skewers:
    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred.
  4. Serve:
    Remove the skewers from the grill and serve hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.

Tips for Grilling Wagyu Beef and Vegetable Skewers

Due to the high fat content of Wagyu, grilling requires attention to avoid flare-ups. Keep the grill at medium-high heat and flip the skewers frequently to prevent charring. Use indirect heat if necessary and avoid overcooking to maintain the beef's tenderness.

Summary:

Wagyu Beef and Vegetable Skewers are a simple yet elegant dish that brings together the rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor of Wagyu beef with the vibrant, refreshing taste of grilled vegetables. The tender marinated beef, with its signature marbling, ensures each bite is juicy and full of flavor, while the vegetables add a delightful crunch and a burst of color. This dish is not only visually appealing but also nutritionally balanced, making it an ideal option for casual weeknight dinners, backyard barbecues, or even more special occasions where you want to impress your guests. Serve with a dipping sauce or pair with sides to elevate this versatile dish even further.
