Easy Dijon Mustard Steak Skewers

Jump to Recipe

These easy dijon mustard steak skewers are my favorite way to make steak. Adding Dijon mustard to steak tips gives them such incredible flavor and they cook up quickly. The easy dijon mustard marinade for the steak is so simple and so delicious. This is a must make dish at your next BBQ.

You can call these Dijon steak kabobs, steak skewers, or steak tips and it all means the same thing. Easy delicious steak strips marinated in the most delicious Dijon marinade then grilled to perfection.

Now, I have cooked this on the grill, in the oven, and on the frying pan, all with great success. If grilling is not in the cards, other cooking methods work just as well.

I actually started cooking this recipe after going to a friend's cookout years ago who shared it with me and it has been on our dinner rotation ever since.

During the summer months, I love grilling these dijon steak skewers for the ultimate summer BBQ!

Ingredients

Here is what you will need:

  • Steak Tips
  • Dijon mustard: The star ingredient. Dijon stands up really well to the flavors of steak. It is the perfect flavor pairing.
  • Olive oil: This helps thin out the Dijon.
  • Salt and pepper: To wake up the flavors of the Dijon and steak.
  • Sweet Paprika: This adds. a touch of earthy sweetness, which is the best way I can describe it. Trust me, it works!

The more time the steak is in that marinade, the more flavor on the steak!

Making The Dijon Steak Skewers

You will first want to gather all of your ingredients and make the Dijon marinade.

I like to throw everything into a sealable plastic bag. You do not have to be neat, just throw it all in!

Now you add your steak into the bag with all of the ingredients and seal the bag making sure to burp out a little air from the bag. Once it is nice and sealed go ahead and start massaging the steak and Dijon marinade together by holding the outside of the bag and mixing the ingredients all around.

Place the bag in a bowl and place in the fridge for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. You can even do this 2 days in advance and it will taste even better.

Best Meat to Use For These Steak Skewers

When making steak skewers, it is always best to use a leaner cut of meat since the cooking time is fast. That is why I love cooking with steak tips which is my number one choice.

If you cannot find steak tips, here are some more ideas:

  1. Tri-Tip steak
  2. NY strip steak (most of the fat is usually on the outside and easy to trim off). Even though this is more of a prime cut of beef, you can stretch out the portions by adding vegetables to the skewers so it is more budget friendly.
  3. Any sirloin cut of meat.

      I use a shorter marinade time and longer and they are both so delicious- I am not sure which is my favorite 🙂 I am so glad you enjoyed them.
