How To Make Steak Kabobs Paleo-Friendly
Steak kabobs are naturally paleo-friendly because they’re built around whole, nutrient-dense ingredients. At the core is steak, a high-quality protein that fits perfectly within the paleo framework of eating real, unprocessed foods. When paired with fresh vegetables like bell peppers, onions, and zucchini, kabobs become a colorful mix of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which are all essentials of a balanced paleo meal.
What makes them especially great for paleo is that they don’t require grains, legumes, or dairy, which are avoided for this lifestyle. Instead, flavor comes from simple marinades (in this case chimichurri) made with vinegar, herbs, spices, and olive oil instead of soy sauce.

Paleo Steak Kabobs Ingredients
- 1 lb lean steak (sirloin, strip, flank), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 1/2 cups chimichurri sauce (below)
- 1 red, yellow, or orange bell pepper, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares
- 1 onion, cut into 6 wedges
- 1 zucchini, cut into 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds
For the chimichurri sauce:
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 shallot, minced
- 1 1/2 cups extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30-60 minutes to prevent them from burning.
- Place the steak in a plastic bag. Cover the steak with ¾ cup of the chimichurri and coat thoroughly.
- Set the steak in the fridge FLAT. Marinate for at least one hour. The longer the better!
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking. Toss your cut vegetables in ¼ cup of the chimichurri.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Thread the steak on skewers together. I find this helps the steak cook for evening.
- Thread the veggies alternating on other skewers.
- Grill the steak on the cast iron on each side about 1 ½ – 2 minutes or until a nice brown color appears with a little chargrill.
- Place the steak and vegetable skewers on a foiled lined pan and bake for 12-15 minutes.
- If the vegetables need more time, then leave them in a little longer while you let the meat rest for 5 minutes.
- Enjoy with the sauce!
For the chimichurri sauce:
- Combine vinegar, lime juice, garlic, and shallot in a food processor and mix on low speed.
- Drizzle in the olive oil while mixing; the dressing will begin to emulsify.
- Add cilantro, parsley, salt, and pepper and continue to mix on low until the dressing is uniform in texture and the herb pieces are chopped quite small.
