Ingredients

• For the Steak:

• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• Garlic Butter Marinade:
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

1. Prepare the Steak and Marinade:

• Trim any excess fat from the steak and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Season the steak pieces with salt and pepper.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the olive oil and garlic for about 20 seconds. Add the butter and heat for an additional 20 seconds or until melted. Stir in the lemon juice.
• Reserve 4 tablespoons of this butter mixture for serving, then stir in the tomato paste to the rest of the marinade.

1. Marinate the Steak:

• Pour the tomato-infused garlic butter over the steak cubes and toss quickly to coat. Marinate for 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, for deeper flavor.
• If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.

1. Grill the Kabobs:

• Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 375°F).
• Thread the steak cubes and onion pieces onto the skewers, discarding any leftover marinade.
• Grill for about 9-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the steak reaches your desired doneness (125-130°F for medium-rare). Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes.

1. Serve with Garlic Butter Drizzle:

• Drizzle the kabobs with the reserved garlic butter mixture, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve hot.

• Doneness Check: Keep a close eye on the grill and use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking the steak.
