Instructions
Step 1: Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Step 2: In a bowl, combine 1 tbsp olive oil, soy sauce, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Add cubed beef and toss until well coated. Let marinate for 15 minutes.
Step 3: Thread marinated beef cubes onto soaked skewers, dividing evenly among the three skewers.
Step 4: Cut potatoes into fries, toss with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crispy.
Step 5: Heat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the beef skewers for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked to your desired doneness.
Step 6: While beef grills, assemble the salad by combining lettuce, halved cherry tomatoes, and sliced red onion in a bowl. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Step 7: Once beef reaches desired temperature, remove skewers from grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving alongside hot fries and fresh salad.
Storage and Reheating Tips
Store cooked steak skewers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The fries are best enjoyed fresh, but leftover fries can be refrigerated and reheated in a 350°F oven for 5-7 minutes to restore crispness.
To reheat the beef skewers, place them on a baking sheet and warm in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes until heated through. Keep the salad separate and assemble just before serving to maintain freshness and crispness.
Pro tip: Prepare the salad ingredients separately and store them in containers so you can quickly assemble a fresh salad whenever you reheat the main components.
