Air Fryer Beef Kabobs

Method

  1. 1

    Cut steak into 1.5-inch cubes. Toss with marinade. Marinate 30 minutes to 2 hours.

  2. 2

    Thread steak and vegetables alternately onto skewers.

  3. 3

    Air fry at 400°F for 10-12 minutes for medium-rare, turning every 4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Rest 5 minutes before serving.

Pro tip. Sirloin is the best cut for kabobs — tender enough but holds its shape. Cut everything the same size. Don't pack pieces tight — leave small gaps for air. For medium, go 12-14 minutes; well-done, 15-16.

Why the air fryer wins here

  • Ready in 12 minutes. The same dish takes about 22 in a conventional oven, plus preheating.
  • Fast-moving hot air browns the outside before the inside dries out, so you get color without babysitting.
  • Cleanup is a basket, not a sheet pan and a splattered stovetop.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate perishable leftovers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Reheat leftovers to 165°F (74°C) throughout, measured with a food thermometer. USDA leftover safety guidance.

Keep leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-5 minutes rather than the microwave so the outside crisps back up. See the reheat guide for exact times by food.
