- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Salt (to taste)
- Fresh ground pepper (to taste)
Additional Ingredients:
- 6 bamboo skewers
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Instructions
- Immerse bamboo skewers in water for 15 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.

- Drain skewers and carefully thread with marinated steak and vegetable pieces, distributing ingredients evenly.
- Arrange skewers on prepared baking sheet, positioning them parallel to each other for uniform cooking.
- Broil for 5 minutes, then carefully flip skewers to ensure even caramelization and continue cooking for an additional 4 minutes until steak reaches 135˚F to 140˚F internal temperature.

Notes
- Prevent wooden skewers from burning by thoroughly soaking them in water before threading ingredients.
- Customize spice levels by adjusting cayenne pepper quantity for mild or extra spicy kabobs.
- Choose lean cuts like sirloin or tenderloin for tender, quick-cooking steak pieces that remain juicy during high-heat roasting.
- Ensure even cooking by cutting steak and vegetables into uniform, bite-sized cubes approximately 1-inch thick.
