Ingredients

Beef Marinade

  • 1 lb (450g) beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Skewers

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Skewers

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Beef: In a bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Add the beef cubes and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat to ensure it’s hot enough for searing the beef and cooking the ingredients evenly.
  3. Assemble the Skewers: Thread the marinated beef cubes, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, and basil leaves alternately onto the skewers, creating colorful and flavorful combinations.
  4. Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure the beef cooks evenly and reaches your preferred level of doneness.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove the skewers from the grill, optionally drizzle with additional balsamic vinegar, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
  • Adjust grilling time based on your preferred beef doneness—less time for medium-rare, more for well-done.
  • Fresh basil can be substituted with baby spinach or arugula if preferred.
  • Use high-quality balsamic vinegar for the best flavor impact.
  • This recipe is great for meal prep and can be served with a side salad for a complete keto meal.
