  • Total Time: 30 minutes plus marinating time (1 to 8 hours)
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Marinade

  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (finely chopped, or 2 teaspoons dried rosemary)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

For the Kabobs

  • 1 pound top sirloin (cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (cleaned and halved)
  • 2 bell peppers (different colors, cleaned and cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 large red onion (cleaned and cut into 1 inch pieces)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade: In a small bowl or glass measuring cup, whisk together balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, rosemary, garlic, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and onion powder to create the marinade.
  2. Marinate the Steak: Cut the top sirloin into 1-inch pieces and place them into a large zip-top bag. Pour the marinade over the steak pieces, seal the bag, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour up to 8 hours to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.
  3. Preheat the Grill: Remove the steak from the marinade, discarding any excess liquid. Heat your grill to medium-high heat to get it ready for cooking.
  4. Assemble the Kabobs: Season the mushrooms, bell peppers, and red onions with salt, pepper, and a little olive oil. Thread the marinated steak pieces and vegetables alternately onto skewers, making sure to distribute vegetables and meat evenly.
  5. Grill the Kabobs: Place the assembled kabobs on the preheated grill. Cook them for 3 to 5 minutes per side, turning as needed to ensure all sides are evenly cooked and the steak reaches desired doneness.
  6. Serve: Once cooked, remove the kabobs from the grill. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Soaking wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling helps prevent them from burning.
  • For extra tenderness, marinate the steak overnight but no longer than 8 hours to avoid overpowering the meat.
  • You can substitute other vegetables such as zucchini or cherry tomatoes based on preference.
  • Adjust grilling time depending on your preferred steak doneness (3 minutes per side for medium-rare).
  • Use fresh herbs whenever possible for best flavor.
