Ingredients
Scale
Meat:
- 14 ounces (397 grams) sirloin (cut into 1-inch cubes)
Vegetables and Herbs:
- 2 cups whole grape tomatoes
- 1 ½ pounds (680 grams) baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (stems removed, chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
Marinade and Seasonings:
- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- 6 metal or wooden skewers
Instructions
- Prepare wooden skewers by soaking them in water to prevent burning during grilling.
- Create a robust marinade by whisking balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, and minced garlic together, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Coat cubed steak thoroughly in the marinade, ensuring complete coverage, and refrigerate for 20 minutes to develop deep flavor profiles.
- Separately prepare tomato mixture by combining olive oil and chopped rosemary, allowing herbs to infuse with fresh tomatoes.
- Boil whole potatoes in salted water for 8-10 minutes until tender, then drain and allow to cool slightly.
- Construct kebabs by carefully threading ingredients in an alternating pattern: potato, marinated steak, and herb-infused tomato, repeating sequence twice.
- Preheat grill to medium heat and lightly oil cooking surface to prevent sticking.
- Grill kebabs for approximately 5 minutes per side, rotating carefully to ensure even cooking and achieve desired steak doneness.
- Remove from grill and let rest for 2-3 minutes to allow juices to redistribute, enhancing overall flavor and tenderness.
Notes
- Marinate steak for maximum flavor by letting it sit overnight in the balsamic mixture, allowing the meat to absorb rich, tangy notes.
- Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning and potential fire hazards during grilling.
- Choose tender cuts like sirloin or ribeye for juicier, more succulent kebabs that melt in your mouth with each bite.
- Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness and desired doneness, using a meat thermometer for precise results.
