Dr Pepper Marinated Steak Skewers
These Dr Pepper marinated steak skewers are a fun and delicious appetizer to serve up at your next party or tailgate.
- 1 cup Dr Pepper
- 2 tbsp. BBQ Sauce (plain (use your favorite))
- 4-5 Garlic Cloves (peeled and smashed)
- 1 tsp. Kosher Salt (or to taste)
- Pinch Crushed Red Pepper
- 1-2 lbs. of Flank Steak (cut into long 1 inch wide strips)
- 12-15 Skewers (10 inch, soaked in water)
- Grill Spray (to reduce sticking)
- Add the Dr Pepper, BBQ sauce, garlic cloves, kosher salt, and the crushed red pepper to a medium bowl. Stir well to combine the ingredients.
- Slice the flank steak into long strips, about 1 inch wide. If the flank steak is very thick, cut it into strips, and then slice each strip in half lengthwise, to make two equal, long pieces.
- Add the steak to a large, re-sealable bag. Pour the Dr Pepper marinade over the meat and reseal the bag. Massage the meat gently; ensuring the entire steak is coated with the marinade.
- Refrigerate the steak for at least 2-3 hours, turning the bag occasionally so that both sides of the meat are equally saturated with the marinade.
- Remove the steak from the refrigerator and let it sit out for just a few minutes to take the chill off prior to cooking.
- Remove the steaks from the bag and discard the marinade. Thread the steak strips onto the skewers.
- Spray the BBQ grates with a grill spray to prevent sticking.
- Grill the steak skewers over moderate heat until the meat is charred in spots, and the steak reaches the desired doneness â about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the meat.
- Arrange the skewers on a platter and serve.
