It’s cold outside but I still get to make air fryer steak kebabs without using an outdoor grill. Thanks to my Air Fryer, I get to have kebabs year round.
My favorite type of kebab are these steak kebabs. Steak in the air fryer is an all time favorite of mine so steak kebabs just seemed appropriate.
Can you make steak in an Air Fryer?
Yes, yes, and yes. This Perfect Air Fryer Steak recipe is one of our favorite ways to prepare steak. Following the same methods I used in that recipe, I was able to prepare perfect steak kebabs/skewers.
How to make steak kebabs/skewers in an Air Fryer?
First, you'll start by marinating your steak. I use sirloin steak that has been cut into 1 inch cubes. I try my hardest to make sure all the steak is about the same size so it cooks evenly.
Then you will prepare your vegetables by chopping your onions, peppers, and cleaning those super dirty mushrooms. I then toss them in a bowl with some olive oil and I sprinkle a little bit of salt and fresh cracked black pepper over them.
Grab your skewers and start placing your kebabs on. I use metal skewers that came with this air fryer kit. They are reusable and fit right inside my Air Fryer. You could use wooden skewers but you would want to soak them first so that they don't burn. Here's a
Once the meat and vegetables are placed on your skewers, place them in your preheated Air Fryer of 390 degrees Fahrenheit. I usually can fit about 6 kebabs on my Air Fryer. I cook my kebabs for 12 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
What is the best meat and vegetables to use for my kebabs?
I suggest using top sirloin for these steak kebabs. It’s a cheaper cut but stays juicy after marinating and air frying.
For the vegetables, I've included my favorites in this recipe but you could definetly sub for your favorites. I'm thinking zucchini, pearl onions, and colored bell peppers would be great.
I hope you enjoy this Air Fryer Steak Kebab recipe as much as we do. Until next time.

Ray says
What do you use for air fryer cleaning? I have a XL power air fryer. damp cloth after it cools down doesn't seem to get all the grease from food cooked prior to cleaning.
Tanya says
Hi Ray, I wash my basket in soap and water using Dawn.
Jasmine says
This is one of my all time favorite air fryer recipes!! Thanks for sharing!
Sherry Souder says
Easy to make a tastes great. Will make it part if my rotation. I just placed the beef and veggies in the basket single layer and it came out perfect.
ALLYSON NOBLES says
I have a question: the meat looks crispy, but the peppers and red onion look straight up raw. How do you get it to cook where the meat is medium rare or even medium but the veggies are cooked all the way through? I bought a very pricey air fryer, and my meat is always burned, but the veggies are always closer to raw than cooked. I don't understand how to cook things together like a skewer where all the food cooks at the same time. I don't care for burned or even well done steak, but I don't want a raw onion with my steak, kwim?
Tanya says
Hi Allyson, the peppers and onions aren't raw. You could increase the cook time if you want them done more.
Common sense says
@ALLYSON NOBLES, Why not just put the veggies on separate skewers to the steak? Put the veggies in first and when they’re part-cooked put the steak skewers in 🤷♀️
Londa says
My husband likes his steak really rare so I give the veggies their own skewer and give them a head start
Tammy t says
This was amazing! Did not use skewers, used vidalia onions and added pineapple chunks. What a great way to cook steak!
Tanya says
Thanks Tammy t 🙂 So glad you liked it.
John says
My new airfryer is fitted with a rotiserie. I will give your today.Looks good
Tonya from Delaware says
This recipe is great! I used different vegetables but used the marinade, omg the beef was tender and delicious! Thank you for sharing.
William says
We used the skewers and put them on the rotisserie attachment. We will definitely do this over and over again. the marinade was great but we will try many different marinades, as we all know, once you are past the "did I cook it long enough" stage the flavors are limitless.
Sorry I don't have pics.
Thank you for this recipe!!
Melissa says
Are you able to cook them without the skewers? Our air fryer is too small for the skewers
Tanya says
Yes you can cook them without the skewers. Just place the vegetables and meat in the basket and shake halfway through.
Kenneth Sweet says

Yay! So glad you liked them 🙂
john anderson says
I LOVE shish kabobs! So I stumbled across this recipe and wow. So delicious!! Thank you. I love this simple but PERFECT marinade. I had no idea steak would turn out soooo good in the air fryer. I will make this again and again...
Kelly Phillips says
I can't wait to try these kabobs. We like our steak medium rare. What temp would you say the 10 - 12 minutes cooks to?
Tanya says
That depends on how large the steak pieces are cut. For the 1 inch cubes, this time game me more of medium-medium well steak.
