Elevate your meal with these succulent Pineapple BBQ Beef Skewers! Sirloin soaks in a savory garlic-soy marinade, paired with sweet pineapple for an unforgettable bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 large fresh pineapple, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 cup good quality BBQ sauce, divided
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the BBQ sauce, soy sauce, minced garlic, and brown sugar. Add the beef cubes to the marinade, toss to coat evenly, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours, to allow flavors to meld.
  2. Step 2: While the beef marinates, if using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning. Prepare your vegetables and fruit: cut the red bell pepper and red onion into 1-inch pieces, and ensure your pineapple chunks are also about 1-inch.
  3. Step 3: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375-400°F or 190-200°C). Thread the marinated beef, pineapple chunks, red bell pepper, and red onion alternately onto the skewers until all ingredients are used. Discard any remaining marinade from the beef bowl.
  4. Step 4: Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Grill for 10-15 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness and the vegetables are tender-crisp. During the last 5 minutes of grilling, generously brush the remaining 3/4 cup of BBQ sauce over all sides of the skewers.
  5. Step 5: Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Keep any leftover skewers fresh by storing them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; they make a fantastic quick lunch!
  • For best results, gently warm cold skewers in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10-15 minutes, or briefly on a medium-low grill, to ensure the beef stays juicy and vegetables retain their bite.
  • These savory and sweet skewers are delightful on their own, but truly shine when paired with a light coconut rice, a crisp cucumber and tomato salad, or even some grilled sweet potatoes for a complete and satisfying meal.
  • Chef's Secret: The pineapple in the marinade not only adds incredible flavor but also helps tenderize the beef. Stick to the suggested marinade time of 30 minutes to 4 hours; marinating much longer can make the beef too soft due to the fruit's enzymes.
