Beef Kabobs

Air fryer Beef Kabobs are a simple, healthy, and flavorful meal option that brings together tender marinated beef and colorful vegetables. This recipe uses a delicious marinade made from soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, and fresh herbs to infuse the beef with rich flavors, while the air fryer crisps up the edges and seals in the moisture. It’s an ideal dish for both family dinners and entertaining, as it’s easy to prepare, takes minimal time to cook, and produces a mouthwatering result that everyone will love. You can customize the kabobs by adding your favorite veggies, like bell peppers, zucchini, onions, or mushrooms, for an even more vibrant dish.

Notes

  • You can marinate the beef for longer if you want a more intense flavor, but 15 minutes is enough for a delicious result.
  • If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before threading them to prevent burning during cooking.
  • Feel free to swap out the vegetables based on what’s in season or what you have on hand, such as cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, or eggplant.
