Steps:
- Cut steak, peppers and onion into equal sized pieces (about 1-1.5")
- In a large freezer bag, combine the oil, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, honey, onion powder and chipotle powder if using.
- Add steak and let marinate for at least one hour, and up to 8 hours (see notes above regarding marinade times)
- If using wooden skewers, soak for 10 minutes before skewering your beef and vegetables.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Skewer your beef cubes and vegetables, alternating as you like. I try to ensure 3-5 cubes of beef per skewer, depending on how long your skewers are.
- Place kabobs directly over the heat, cooking for 4-5 minutes before flipping and cooking another 4-5 minutes. See notes above for cook times depending on your preference for doneness.

Tips:
- Use high-quality meat: The quality of your meat will greatly affect the taste of your kabobs. Look for well-marbled meat with a good amount of fat. This will help keep the meat moist and flavorful as it cooks.
- Cut the meat against the grain: This will help make the meat more tender. To do this, simply hold the knife perpendicular to the grain of the meat and slice it thinly.
- Marinate the meat: Marinating the meat will help to tenderize it and add flavor. You can use a simple marinade made with olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, or you can get creative and try a more complex marinade.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't just stick to one or two vegetables when you're making kabobs. Use a variety of vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, and zucchini. This will add color, flavor, and texture to your kabobs.
- Cook the kabobs over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the meat and vegetables and prevent them from drying out. Cook the kabobs for about 10-12 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
- Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce: Kabobs are delicious served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tzatziki sauce, hummus, or ranch dressing.
