These beautiful Steak and Potato Kabobs combine marinated steak, garlic-herb potatoes, and roasted mushrooms for a complete meal that's perfect for grilling.
Steak and Potato Kabobs are a delicious and fun way to enjoy steak and veggies all on the same skewer. These kabobs are packed with juicy steak, tender potatoes, and savory mushrooms—marinated and cooked together to perfection. What makes these kabobs so great is that everything cooks at the same time, so no need to worry about different cooking times for the meat and vegetables.
The steak is marinated in a flavorful blend of soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, red wine, and garlic, which keeps it tender and packed with flavor. The mushrooms get nice and roasted, juicy on the inside, and the potatoes are precooked with garlic and herbs, just waiting for a little charring on the grill. Serve these with a simple salad, and you’ve got an indulgent, steakhouse-quality meal in no time. Perfect for a summer BBQ or a fun dinner any time of the year.
Ingredients
Steak:
1 - 1 ½ lbs steak (ribeye, strip, sirloin), cut into 1 ½"- 2" pieces
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
½ Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 Tablespoon red wine
½ Tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tablespoons olive oil
salt, ground black pepper, to taste
Potatoes:
1 ¼ - 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes
2-3 Tablespoons olive oil
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
½ Tablespoon fresh thyme, minced
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
½ Tablespoons dry herbs, optional
salt, ground black pepper, to taste
Mushrooms:
10 oz. fresh mushrooms (I used baby bella mushrooms)
3 Tablespoons olive oil
½ Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon fresh thyme, minced
salt, ground black pepper, to taste
(The ingredient list might look long, but it really isn't. I simply divided the meat, potatoes and mushrooms into separate categories, so it's less confusing, but you'll be using a lot of the same ingredients for everything.)
How To Make Steak and Potato Kabobs
Start by marinating the steak. You can use ribeye, strip or sirloin steak for this recipe. I used sirloin this time, but any of them will work. Choose steaks that are very thick. The thicker the steak the more juicy it will be. Cut the steak into 1 ½" - 2" pieces.
Add the soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, red wine, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, olive oil and salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix everything to combine. You can grill the kebabs right away, letting the meat marinate while you prep the rest of the ingredients, but you can also marinate it a day in advance, just keep it refrigerated and then bring it to room temperature for 30 minutes before grilling it.
Meanwhile, place the potatoes into a medium pot and add just enough water to cover the potatoes.
Bring the potatoes to a boil and cook for another 5 minutes or so, just so that the potatoes can be pierced with a paring knife, but are still firm and hold their shape. Drain the potatoes.
While the potatoes are cooking, combine the rest of the ingredients, olive oil, garlic, fresh and dry herbs, and salt and ground black pepper in a large mixing bowl.
Add the drained, still hot potatoes to the bowl and mix it all to combine, so that the potatoes are completely coated in the garlic, herb and seasoning mixture. Since the potatoes are still hot, the potatoes will absorb some of the salt and all the other flavors more than if you would mix it all together when the potatoes have cooled. You can make the potatoes in advance as well as the steak. After seasoning the cooked potatoes, cool them completely and store in a covered container in the refrigerator until you are ready to grill the kebabs.
For the mushrooms, I like to keep them whole, so I look for medium sized mushrooms. If the mushrooms are really big, you can cut them in half. Don't season the mushrooms in advance though. I like to toss them together with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, herbs, salt and pepper right before threading everything onto skewers, that way they are still nice and firm. The longer the mushrooms stand in the marinade, the mushier and soggier they will be.
Thread the steak, potatoes and mushrooms onto your skewers. I ended up getting 6 kebabs with meat, potatoes and mushrooms and 2 kebabs with just potatoes and mushrooms, but that was intentional. I like having extra potatoes and mushrooms:). If you want to have more meat, use 1 ½ lbs of steak meat. (I used only 1 lb for the 6 kebabs.)
Preheat the grill for 15 minutes, then clean the grill and brush it several times with a paper towel soaked in oil.
Place the kebabs on the hot grill and cook, covered, for 6-8 minutes per side. If you cook the kebabs for 8 minutes per side, the meat will be well done. We like our steak to be medium, so we cook them for about 6 minutes per side. The time also depends on how thick your meat is cut. If they are 1 ½", of course they will cook quicker than if you cut them into 2" pieces.
I like to garnish the kebabs with more fresh herbs when they are done cooking. Serve with a salad and your entire meal is ready to go.

You don't necessarily need warm weather to grill. When we were in Russia my in-laws had a bbq made with bricks. They used it even in winter. Just clear a path through the snow to the bbq and your away 😀
I absolutely agree, Sophie:). I still remember my Dad grilling in our backyard while it was snowing in NY.
Looks like a perfect grilling idea-can't wait to try it out!Thank you Olga for sharing your wonderful recipes with the community!
I hope you enjoy them, Veronica.
