Ingredients You’ll Need

Beef and Vegetables

You’ll need 1 1/2 pounds of beef sirloin cut into bite-sized cubes. Sirloin holds up well in the oven while staying juicy. For vegetables, gather a chopped red onion, one green bell pepper, one red bell pepper, four ounces of mushrooms, and one large zucchini sliced into rounds. These veggies roast evenly and balance the richness of the beef. You can swap in other options like cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, or even baby potatoes for variety. If you prefer, substitute chicken for beef, just reduce cooking time to 18–25 minutes until it reaches 165°F.

The Marinade

This marinade is what makes the kebabs shine. Combine 3/4 cup coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce, 1/2 cup oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic or red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon basil, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. The mix is tangy, herby, and slightly sweet, coating every bite of beef and veggie. Marinate at least one hour for best results, though longer deepens the flavor.

How To Make Sheet Pan Beef Kebabs

Prep the Marinade

In a large bowl, whisk together coconut aminos, oil, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, garlic, oregano, basil, and pepper until smooth.

Marinate the Beef and Veggies

Add cubed beef and all vegetables to the bowl. Toss well until everything is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour, or up to six hours for deeper flavor.

Arrange on the Sheet Pan

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a large baking sheet. Spread the marinated beef and vegetables out in a single layer. This helps them roast instead of steam.

Roast to Perfection

Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through. The beef should be browned on the outside but juicy inside, and vegetables tender with lightly crisped edges. For added char, switch to broil for the last 2–3 minutes.

Tips for the Best Results

Always marinate at least an hour so the flavors soak in. Keep everything in a single layer to avoid steaming. Stir once during roasting for even cooking. Check beef doneness by slicing a cube—juices should run clear and the center should be slightly pink. If you love that charred grill flavor, broil briefly at the end. For tender beef, avoid overcooking; remember it will continue to cook slightly after coming out of the oven. Using coconut aminos also keeps it paleo and Whole30 compliant, making this recipe versatile.

Variations and Substitutions

Swap beef for chicken, shrimp, or even tofu for a plant-based version. Chicken cooks in about 20 minutes, shrimp just 8–10 minutes, and tofu can bake the full 30. Mix up the vegetables—try cherry tomatoes, yellow squash, eggplant, or even sweet potatoes for a different twist. You can also play with the marinade by adding honey for sweetness, crushed red pepper for heat, or smoked paprika for depth. The beauty of this recipe is its flexibility, so use what you love and have on hand.

What To Serve With Sheet Pan Beef Kebabs

These kebabs pair beautifully with fluffy rice, nutty quinoa, or buttery couscous. If you prefer low-carb sides, try a fresh garden salad or cauliflower rice. They also go great with warm pita bread and hummus for a Mediterranean-inspired spread. For another healthy dinner idea, you might enjoy these Whole30 sloppy joes – healthy dinner.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. To reheat, place on a baking sheet and warm at 350°F for 10–12 minutes until heated through. You can also reheat in a skillet over medium heat for quick results. Freezing is not recommended since the vegetables lose their texture. For best flavor, enjoy within a few days.
