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.
