Ingredients
Scale
Beef
- 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into cubes
- Salt and pepper to taste
Vegetables and Cheese
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, cut into cubes
- Fresh basil leaves
Finishing
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling
Instructions
- Season the beef: Generously season the beef sirloin cubes with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor and prepare them for grilling.
- Assemble the skewers: Alternately thread the seasoned beef cubes, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cubes, and basil leaves onto skewers, arranging the ingredients to distribute flavors evenly.
- Grill the skewers: Place the assembled skewers on a grill set to medium heat. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure all sides are nicely charred and the beef reaches your desired doneness.
- Add the finishing touch: After grilling, remove the skewers and immediately drizzle them with balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy finish that complements the savory and fresh ingredients.
Notes
- Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
- Use fresh ingredients for best flavor and texture.
- Adjust grilling time based on the thickness of beef cubes and preferred doneness.
- Balsamic glaze can be substituted with balsamic vinegar reduction if preferred.
- For a lower-fat option, choose lean sirloin cuts.
