Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare the Skewers:
-
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Marinate the Steak & Mushrooms:
-
In a large bowl, toss the steak cubes and mushrooms with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Thread the steak and mushrooms onto the skewers, alternating between steak pieces and mushrooms.
Make the Garlic Butter:
-
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic and chopped parsley. Set aside.
Grill the Skewers:
-
Place the skewers on the grill or grill pan. Cook for about 3–4 minutes per side, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches your desired level of doneness and the mushrooms are tender.
Baste with Garlic Butter:
-
During the last couple of minutes of grilling, brush the skewers generously with the garlic butter sauce. Allow the butter to sizzle and soak into the meat and mushrooms.
Rest & Serve:
-
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for about 5 minutes. Drizzle with any remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with extra fresh parsley before serving.
