These garlic sirloin kebabs are smothered in homemade garlic butter and grilled. They make a great dinner.
On Friday Nate and I decided it would be a splurge night where we would make a fancy dinner, and spend some quality time together. We got our inspiration from Tucanos, although we of course did not have as much meat variety as Tucanos did. I only had this delicious garlic sirloin, while Nate also had a lobster and a couple of shrimp skewers. We did however make some tasty brazillian limeade to go with the meal, which tasted just like Tucanos. We started the meal with an appetizer of broiled bread topped with spinach and artichoke dip, and ended the meal with some wonderful homemade icecream and chocolate lava cakes.
This tasty garlic sirloin is as good as Tucano’s with the delicious garlic butter glaze and is a simple meal to grill up for a special night in too. The garlic butter tastes great on other foods too, like lobster, zucchini and squash and probably more!
It was a great way to spend the evening with my hubby, and I hope we can do some more similar stay at home date nights soon!
Garlic Sirloin
Ingredients
- 1 lb sirloin steak (cubed)
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2 TBS garlic (minced)
- 1 TBS garlic salt
- 1 tsp salt
Instructions
- Melt butter.
- Mix together butter, garlic, garlic salt and salt.
- Cut steak meat into about 1.5 inch pieces (cubes).
- Baste butter mixture onto steak pieces.
- Stick steak pieces onto kabob sticks
- Grill for about 15 minutes.
- Rotate skewers every couple of minutes, cooking evenly on each side.
- Re-baste meat throughout grilling process, because a lot of the flavor will cook off.

Enjoy this delicious garlic sirloin for a special night in or just a regular dinner meal!

I love the idea – beef and garlic – but (hate to be the only negative comment here) the 1 TB garlic salt AND less regular salt is way too much. Intend to try it with just a modicum of kosher salt to let the garlic shine through. Thanks for the idea anyway.

William Hoover says
Aimee, We are already discussing what we will do this weekend with your recipe. You have a new baby to cause some dinner time other interests. We both understand. For us, all we have is a couple German Shepherds who want to help!! Teach your children well, I say that is reference to the love of family and cooking together. That is what makes family traditions.
Regards, Bill and Libby.
( Bruno, Spirit, Valkyrie, and Ms. Jade too)

I just found this via Pinterest. I like the story of your “Be Together” dinner. My Wife and I will be doing this dinner together very soon. We make our own dinners together a lot. BTW: We are married 44 years this month.
Aimee Berrett says
William, you will have to let me know what you think of the sirloin! My husband and I love cooking together, though with a baby now its a little harder. Congratulations on 44 years of marriage! That’s wonderful!

I love in an apartment and don’t have a grill. Any thoughts about making this in an oven? Sounds wonderful!
Aimee Berrett says
Do you have an indoor grill, maybe a george foreman? I’ve never tried this with an oven, but here’s instructions from Livestrong how to cook sirloin in the oven. It will be shorter time if you cut the steak into pieces like we did. http://www.livestrong.com/article/414083-how-to-cook-sirloin-steak-in-an-oven/

My husband and I love this recipe for steak. We didn’t even chop up the steaks and just had the whole thing in garlic and butter with pasta and some corn. Delicious!
Aimee Berrett says
Wow, Mandi that sounds delicious! I am so glad you liked the garlic sauce on your steaks and it sounds so good with pasta too!
