Instructions

Let’s dive into the steps to create these flavor-packed skewers:

Prep the Steak: Cut your steak into bite-sized cubes, then drizzle with a bit of olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Let it marinate for a few minutes while you prep the veggies.

Prepare the Veggies: Cut the bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes into pieces that will fit nicely on the skewers. If you’re using larger tomatoes, consider halving them.

Assemble the Skewers: Start by threading a piece of steak onto a skewer, followed by a piece of bell pepper, onion, and tomato. Repeat this process until the skewer is filled, leaving space at the ends for easy handling. If you’re feeling extra, add a little mozzarella cheese between the veggies for an even cheesier bite.

Grill the Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until the steak is cooked to your desired level of doneness. You want the steak to be juicy, with a nice sear on the outside, and the veggies tender.

Add the Pizza Sauce: Once the skewers are done, drizzle them with a little pizza sauce and sprinkle with extra mozzarella cheese if desired. Let the cheese melt slightly while the skewers rest for a minute.

Serve and Enjoy: Serve the skewers hot with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping. Perfect for a fun, interactive meal.
