Why Filet and Potatoes Make a Perfect Pair for Father’s Day
Potatoes and steak have always been a classic duo, but serving them on skewers transforms the meal into a hands-on experience that’s perfect for backyard gatherings. The combination of filet mignon and potato kabobs means every bite delivers the best of both worlds—tender beef and hearty, flavorful potatoes.
Filet mignon kebab recipes like this are ideal for Father’s Day because they feel festive but are easy to prep ahead. Potato skewers grill up quickly, can be customized with different seasonings, and always look impressive coming off the barbecue.
Plus, everyone gets to eat with their hands, making the meal even more memorable and relaxed.
Ingredients for Grilled Filet and Potato Skewers
Before you begin, gather everything you need for the best steak and potato kabobs. For this recipe, Key Food Supermarket Hollywood is your one-stop shop.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Filet mignon, cut into even cubes for skewering
- Small Yukon Gold or red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
- Olive oil, salt, and black pepper for seasoning
- Skewers (soaked in water if wooden)
For the rosemary chimichurri:
- Fresh rosemary and flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped
- Minced garlic
- Red wine vinegar
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper
Choosing high-quality steak makes a huge difference, so look for filet mignon that’s bright and well-marbled. Fresh, firm potatoes will hold their shape and crisp nicely on the grill.
Step-by-Step: Prepping Your Potato Skewers
A little prep work sets you up for grilling success. Here’s how to get started:
- Parboil the Potatoes
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 7–8 minutes, until just tender but not falling apart. This step ensures your potatoes finish cooking on the grill and get that golden, crisp exterior. - Season the Steak
While the potatoes cool, toss your filet mignon cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper. This adds flavor and helps the steak sear beautifully. - Assemble the Skewers
Alternate potatoes and filet mignon cubes on metal or soaked wooden skewers. Don’t crowd the ingredients, leaving a little space ensures even cooking.
How to Grill Filet Mignon Skewers
Grilling these skewers brings out the best in both the steak and potatoes. Here’s how to do it right:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high.
- Brush the assembled potato skewers lightly with olive oil.
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning every few minutes, for about 8–10 minutes total. The steak should develop a flavorful crust, and the potatoes should be crisp and golden.
- Remove the skewers and let them rest for five minutes before serving. This keeps the filet mignon juicy and the potatoes fluffy inside.
This method works just as well for filet mignon kebab recipes as it does for other steak and potato kabobs.
Making Rosemary Chimichurri
The final touch for your grilled filet and potato skewers is a simple rosemary chimichurri. This bright, herb-packed sauce is easy to whip up while the skewers rest.
Here’s how to make it:
- In a bowl, mix together two tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary, a quarter cup chopped parsley, and two minced garlic cloves.
- Add one-third cup olive oil and two tablespoons red wine vinegar.
- Stir in salt, black pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to taste.
- Let the chimichurri sit for at least ten minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Serve the sauce on the side for dipping, or spoon it over the skewers just before serving.
