Tips:

For tender and flavorful skewers, choose high-quality beef such as flank steak, skirt steak, or tenderloin.
Cut the beef against the grain into thin strips to ensure even cooking and maximum tenderness.
Marinate the beef in a flavorful mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, garlic, herbs, and spices for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Thread the beef strips onto the skewers, alternating with vegetables such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, if desired.
Grill the skewers over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
Baste the skewers with the remaining marinade during grilling to keep them moist and flavorful.
Serve the skewers hot with a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
