Ingredients

Scale

Steak Marinade

  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 14 ounces sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes

Tomato Marinade

  • 2 cups whole grape tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, stems removed and chopped

Potatoes and Assembly

  • pounds baby potatoes
  • 6 metal or wooden skewers

Instructions

  1. Preheat Grill and Prepare Skewers: Preheat your grill to medium heat. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water to prevent burning during grilling.
  2. Make Steak Marinade: In a large bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, whole grain mustard, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Marinate the Steak: Add the sirloin cubes to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes, or up to overnight for best flavor absorption.
  4. Prepare Tomato Marinade: In another bowl, combine grape tomatoes with olive oil and chopped rosemary. Set this mixture aside to marinate briefly.
  5. Boil Potatoes: Place baby potatoes in a large pot and add enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook the potatoes for about 8-10 minutes, just until they are fork-tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
  6. Assemble Kebabs: Thread the skewers in repeating order: start with a potato, then a piece of marinated steak, followed by a tomato. Repeat this sequence two more times, finishing the skewer with a potato piece.
  7. Grill Kebabs: Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the assembled kebabs on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, totaling approximately 10 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the steak; it should remain juicy.

Notes

  • Soaking wooden skewers prevents them from burning on the grill.
  • Marinate steak for longer if you want a deeper flavor penetration.
  • Par-cooking the potatoes saves grilling time and ensures they cook evenly on the grill.
  • Use metal skewers if you want a sturdier option that won’t require soaking.
  • Adjust seasoning in the marinade according to taste preferences.
  • Serve immediately after grilling for best texture and flavor.
