  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons of garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Skewers (wooden or metal)

Directions:

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the steak into 1-inch cubes. Chop the bell pepper and onion into pieces. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.

  6. Serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
