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
Instructions
- Season the Beef: Season the beef sirloin cubes generously with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
- Assemble the Skewers: Thread the seasoned beef cubes, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella cubes, and fresh basil leaves alternately onto skewers, creating an appealing and balanced combination.
- Grill the Skewers: Place the assembled skewers on a grill over medium heat. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and a nicely charred exterior on the beef.
- Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Once grilled, remove the skewers from heat and drizzle them with a tangy balsamic glaze just before serving for a burst of sweet and acidic flavor.
Notes
- Use wooden skewers soaked in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
- For added flavor, marinate the beef cubes in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for 30 minutes before assembling.
- These skewers can also be cooked under a broiler if a grill is not available.
- Make sure not to overcook the beef to keep it tender and juicy.
- Fresh mozzarella can be substituted with bocconcini for a slightly different texture.
