Balsamic Steak Kabobs
Balsamic Steak Kabobs marinate sirloin steak cubes in a mixture of balsamic vinegar, barbecue sauce, and Dijon mustard, then grill them alternated with cherry tomatoes. The marinade tenderizes the beef and adds tangy, smoky notes, while grilling develops a caramelized exterior. This recipe delivers juicy, flavorful steak bites paired with the freshness of tomatoes.

Ingredients
- 1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 c. barbecue sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 lb sirloin steak cut into 1 in. cubes
- 2 c. cherry tomato
Instructions
- In a large bowl whisk together the balsamic vinegar, barbecue sauce and dijon mustard. Reserve 1/4 c. of the marinade for basting. Marinate steak in marinade, tossing to coat for at least 3 hours.
- On four metal or soaked wood skewers thread beef and tomatoes in alternating fashion. Using a long-handled tongs rub a paper towel that's been moistened with cooking oil over grill grates to lightly coat them.
- Place skewers on grill over medium heat, cover grill and grill until beef reaches desired doneness, about 8-9 minutes turning kebabs occasionally. Or broil about 4 inches from heat for 6-9 minutes. Turn occasionally and baste with reserved marinade during last three minutes of cooking.

Notes
- Sirloin is the preferred cut for its lean profile and flavor; filet mignon, ribeye, or tenderloin are also good alternatives.
- Cube steak into uniform 1-inch pieces to ensure even cooking on the grill or broiler.
- If grilling is not possible, bake kabobs in a 425°F oven for 10-13 minutes until steak reaches medium doneness (145°F internal temperature).
- Moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and use tongs to rub grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Marinate beef at least 3 hours to allow flavors to penetrate and tenderize the meat.
- Use other vegetables such as zucchini, squash, onions, or mushrooms on skewers to vary the kabobs.
