Jerk BBQ Steak Kabobs

These juicy steak kabobs are made with a sweet and spicy Jamaican Jerk BBQ Sauce to make them unique. And they’re grilled on a skewer with veggies!

Nothing says summer like some grilled steak kabobs — but what makes these ones unique is that they’re finished with a Jamaican Jerk BBQ Sauce that is so good you’ll want to dip everything in it. No judgement!

Jerk BBQ Steak Kabob Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to these delicious shish kabobs:

Steak: You can use your favorite cut for these, but I prefer using a sirloin.

Jerk BBQ Sauce: You can make mine by using this recipe.

Spices: We’ll be marinating the steak with a mixture of salt, pepper, paprika, and chili powder.

Veggies: Use your favorite grilling veggies here. I’m using bell peppers and red onions today, but I’d 10000000% add some cubed pineapples next time. OOF.

Skewers: I’m using wooden ones. If using wooden, don’t forget to presoak them for ~30 minutes in water before skewering. This helps ensure that they don’t burn and fall apart on the grill.

How to Make Jerk BBQ Steak Kabobs

Step 1: Prep your ingredients.

Start by adding the spices to the meat and letting that sit for a bit. You can also presoak your wooden skewers (if using) during this time.

Chop your veggies into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2: Make your skewers.

Now make your skewers! Make sure you’re not OVERPACKING them or you run the risk of missing some spots in the cooking process, but in general just skewer away however you see fit.

Step 3: Grill the kabobs

Now grill your kabobs on your grill pan (or on a BBQ, of course!) until done (about 8ish minutes in total). Towards the end, start brushing the BBQ sauce on the kabobs (you don’t want to do this in the beginning because you run the risk of just charring the BBQ sauce, and that’s not tasty!).
