Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 12 ounces ribeye into 1-inch cubes. In a bowl, mix 1 tablespoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss steak cubes with the spice mixture and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  2. Step 2: Thread steak and 1 cup diced bell peppers onto skewers, alternating pieces.
  3. Step 3: Preheat grill to medium-high (400°F). Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2 minutes, until steak reaches medium doneness (135°F internal temperature).
  4. Step 4: Rest skewers for 3 minutes before serving to retain juices.
