Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1.5 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into squares
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 1 zucchini, sliced into rounds
- Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together honey, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the beef cubes in the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best flavor.
- While the beef is marinating, soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
- Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the marinated beef and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between beef and vegetables.
- Grill the skewers for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender and charred.
- Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
Notes
Tip: If using metal skewers, there's no need to soak them. Just be careful as they can become very hot!
For the best results, let the beef marinate for at least 2 hours, or even overnight, to fully absorb the flavors. If you’re short on time, a minimum of 30 minutes will still yield tasty skewers.
Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables based on what’s in season or your personal preference. Zucchini, bell peppers, and red onions work beautifully in this dish.
Store any leftover skewers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat them on the grill or in the oven to maintain their flavor and texture.
