Once marinated, preheat your charcoal grill to medium-high heat.

Prepare the vegetables by cutting the green, red, and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares, and halving the cherry tomatoes. Optionally, blanch the onions and green peppers for a minute before skewering for enhanced texture.
5
Thread the marinated steak cubes onto skewers, alternating with pieces of bell peppers, small onions, cherry tomatoes, and mushrooms to create colorful and appetizing kabobs.
