Description

Tender, sweet, tangy, and utterly perfect for fall grilling, these grilled balsamic beef skewers will be perfect for a weeknight meal, special occasion, or game day!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
  • 7 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp High Quality Dijon Mustard, I use Maille
  • 4 Garlic Cloves, minced
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 2 pounds Sirloin Steak tips, trimmed of fat and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 Red Onions, peeled and cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Whisk vinegar, 1/2 cup of olive oil, mustard, garlic, pepper flakes, 1/2 tsp of salt, and 1/2 tsp of pepper together into a large bowl.
  2. Place 1/2 cup of the mixture into a small saucepan, and bring the mixture to a simmer to thicken, about 2-3 minutes when it has reached a simmer.
  3. Into the bowl with the remaining mixture, add in the steak, and toss to coat completely. Marinade the steak for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Skewer the onions and beef, with the onions at the ends, and the steak in the middle of the skewers.
  5. Heat the grill for 15 minutes, over high heat. Ensure that the grate is cleaned, and oiled.
  6. Cook the skewers on medium heat, turning and basting the skewers every 2 minutes, until the meat reaches 125 degrees (for medium-rare).
  7. Remove the skewers and plate them, allowing them to rest for 5 minutes.
