How to Make Beef Kabobs in the Oven
With this easy oven beef kabobs recipe, you’ll enjoy super tasty kabobs cooked indoors without feeling like they should have been cooked on the grill. The oven can be just as convenient and good!
Here are the simple steps:
- Marinate the beef
Make the marinade for the kabobs and either place the cubed beef pieces in a zip bag with the marinade for 15 to 45 minutes or up to overnight. While the beef marinades, this is a great time to soak your skewers. - Assemble
Thread the cubes of meat onto the skewers, alternating with vegetables. If making ahead, store kabobs in a 9×13 baking tray covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator. - Prep the oven
Preheat the oven to 375F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. - Prep the skewer
Remove the beef from the marinade and discard the marinade. Alternate threading the beef, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms onto each skewer, about 3 pieces of beef for each kabob. - Cook the kabobs
Place the kabobs on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the beef reaches an internal temperature of 140F to 145F. Total cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your beef cubes. - Serve
Remove the kabobs from the oven and serve with your favorite sides.

How to Prep Oven Skewers
If you’re using wooden skewers, you must soak them for at least 30 minutes to avoid burning them. You can do this while the meat is marinating. Metal reusable skewers are a great alternative.
How Long to Cook Beef Kabobs in the Oven
When baking beef kabobs in the oven, cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the beef pieces and the oven temperature. I recommend using a meat thermometer to check doneness and prevent it from overcooking and drying out. Meat takes from 20 to 30 minutes to reach a 145F internal temperature.
When beef kabobs are baked in the oven at 375F, the cooking time is 25-30 minutes. If the oven temperature is 400F, kabobs take 20-25 minutes to be done.
| Size | Temp | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 1.5 inch | 375F | 25-30 |
| 1 – 1.5 inch | 400F | 20-25 min |
