Brown Sugar Steak Kebabs

These Brown Sugar Steak Kebabs are great for any backyard BBQ. We make these a few times a month! Try to use a lean cut of meat and trim the fat, like a top round cut. This will reduce the calories significantly and because this steak is going to sit in a marinade for at least 3 hours and fully soak up all the flavors you aren’t going to notice the difference between this and a fattier cut of meat. The serving size is 1 kebab but we like to have two each coming in at 404 calories this is the perfect BBQ meal to stay on track.

FAQ

Do these brown sugar steak kebabs need to be made on the grill?

For the best results these should be made on the grill, alternatively you may be able to make them in a cast iron skillet on a stovetop over high heat.

Can I sub out any of the ingredients? How about the sugar?

This recipe is best as written. Swapping out the brown sugar in this recipe for a zero calorie sweetener would not work as it would not brown properly.
