Labor Day is bittersweet for me.  It’s great to have a long weekend to soak up the sun and enjoy great food with family and friends, but it’s marks the unofficial end of summer.  Fall is my favorite season, but this year I’m having a harder time letting go of summer.

There’s nothing to do about it other than suck it up and revel in Labor Day weekend, which definitely includes grilling up some of these steak kebabs!

If that doesn’t perk me up, nothing will. 🙂

I normally cook with leaner meats, so it’s a really special occasion when I prepare beef.  My boys would eat it every day if they could, so they always get really excited when beef is on the menu.

To say that they were thrilled with these kebabs is an understatement!

These grilled steak kebabs have amazing flavor, and it all starts with Kikkoman® Less Sodium Soy Sauce.

Kikkoman soy sauce

Kikkoman® is a brand that I trust and I’ve used it for years.   I’ve used both Kikkoman® Less Sodium Soy Sauce and Kikkoman® Less Sodium Teriyaki Marinade & Sauce.  Both are perfect for home cooks looking to reduce their sodium intake without sacrificing flavor.

Soy sauce isn’t only a major flavor enhancer — it also brings out the “umami” taste and helps balance and round out flavors.

It’s extremely versatile and not just for Asian sauces and marinades.  It’s very mainstream and perfect for summer holiday grilling and day-to-day weeknight grilling recipes!

When it comes to grilling meat, the marinade is the key to making it tender and flavorful.  This easy steak marinade lends addicting sweet and savory flavors to these kebabs!

The longer you marinate the steak, the more flavor it will have.  I suggest a minimum of 3 hours, and overnight if you have the time.

The cilantro lime sauce really gives the steak a burst of freshness that I love, and really makes the flavors shine.  It’s the perfect accompaniment!

These steak skewers will be the hit of your Labor Day menu and will definitely ease the pain of the unofficial end of summer.

Take it from me. 🙂

Ingredients

Marinade:

  • 1/4 cup Kikkoman® Less Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 large clove garlic
  • 2 lbs. top sirloin steak fat trimmed and cut into 1″ cubes, seasoned with salt and pepper
  • 1 red onion peeled and cut into chunks

Cilantro Lime Sauce:

  • 1 cup cilantro leaves
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Instructions 

Prepare the marinade:

  • Whisk the soy sauce, 3 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and garlic clove in a small bowl until combined.
  • Place the meat in a bowl or baking dish.  Pour the marinade into the bowl and toss to coat the meat completely.  Cover and marinate for up to 3 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat the grill to medium and oil the grates.
  • Thread the chunks of steak and red onion onto (4) large metal skewers.  Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes until each side is charred and the meat is cooked to the desired degree of doneness.
  • Remove from heat, cover loosely in foil, and let rest for 2-3 minutes.

Prepare the Cilantro Lime Sauce:

  • Place the cilantro, garlic clove, lime juice, honey, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor.  Process until coarsely chopped.  With the machine running, add the olive oil through the feed tube and process until the sauce is smooth.  Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
  • Serve the steak kebabs with the cilantro lime sauce and enjoy!

Notes

  • The skewers may be assembled in advance and cooked just before serving time.
  • It’s best to make the cilantro lime sauce just before serving to retain its green color.
