Storage Tips for Steak & Potato Kebabs

Fridge: Store leftover steak & potato kebabs in an airtight container for up to 3 days. This keeps them fresh while preventing odors from mingling with other foods.

Freezer: If you want to enjoy these kebabs later, freeze them in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

Reheating: For the best results, reheat kebabs in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, about 5-7 minutes. This keeps the steak juicy and potatoes tender.

Serving Suggestions: Feel free to serve reheated kebabs with a fresh side salad or dipping sauce to add a burst of flavor and freshness!

Expert Tips for Steak & Potato Kebabs

Marination Time: Allow the ribeye steak to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but longer (up to 2 hours) will deepen the flavors and tenderness.
Skewer Strategy: Alternate between steak, mushrooms, and potatoes on the skewer to ensure even cooking and a striking appearance for your kebabs.
Grill Heat: Make sure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat. This prevents the kebabs from sticking and helps develop a delicious crust.
Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure your steak reaches at least 145°F for medium-rare. This ensures juicy, perfectly cooked steak & potato kebabs.
Rest Before Serving: Let the kebabs rest for a few minutes after grilling. This allows the juices to redistribute, enhancing flavor and tenderness.

Make Ahead Options

These Steak & Potato Kebabs are perfect for meal prep, saving you precious time on busy weeknights! You can marinate the ribeye steak up to 24 hours in advance, allowing the flavors to deeply penetrate the meat. Just place the marinated steak in an airtight container in the fridge. The mushrooms and potatoes can also be prepped ahead—wash and slice the mushrooms, and parboil the baby yukon gold potatoes until fork-tender, then refrigerate them for up to 3 days. On the day of serving, simply skewer the prepped ingredients and grill them until perfectly cooked. You’ll enjoy all the delicious flavors with minimal effort!

Steak & Potato Kebabs Recipe FAQs

How do I pick the best ribeye steak?
Absolutely! Look for ribeye steaks with generous marbling; this means you’ll get more flavor and tenderness. Choose one that has a bright, deep red color with a fine texture. Avoid any steaks that show dark spots or are overly dry.

How long can I store leftover kebabs in the fridge?
You can store leftover steak & potato kebabs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Be sure to let them cool down to room temperature before sealing, to avoid condensation, which can make the kebabs soggy.

Can I freeze the kebabs?
Certainly! To freeze, lay the kebabs in a single layer on a baking sheet until they are frozen solid. This usually takes about an hour. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag, removing as much air as possible. They can last up to 3 months in the freezer. When you’re ready to enjoy, simply thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating.

What if my steak isn’t cooking evenly on the grill?
If the steak isn’t cooking evenly, it might help to ensure that your grill is preheated properly. If parts of the meat are browning too quickly, try rotating it for more uniform cooking. Additionally, consider moving the kebabs to indirect heat in your grill if you see them starting to char too much—this will allow them to cook through gradually without burning.

Are these kebabs safe for pets?
While the individual ingredients in steak and potatoes are not harmful to dogs, it’s best to avoid giving them any kebabs, particularly because of the marinade. Ingredients like soy sauce and garlic can upset their stomachs. It’s always a good idea to stick to pet-specific treats to keep your furry friends safe!

What should I do if I run out of soy sauce?
No worries! If you find yourself out of soy sauce, tamari or coconut aminos can be great substitutes. They offer a similar savory flavor profile and work well in the marinade. You can also create a quick homemade replacement by mixing 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce with water and a pinch of salt.
