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 tomatoes
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
- Best Steak for Kebabs
- There are several cuts of beef that are great for kebabs and my favorite to use is sirloin steak. It's leaner, cooks fast and has a really great flavor. Plus, it's not super expensive, which is nice! Here are some other cuts you can use for this recipe, too:
- Oven Directions
- Although grilling gives these the best flavor you can also cook them in the oven. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Place the kebabs on a foil lined baking sheet that is sprayed with non-stick spray. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 10-13 minutes or until internal temperature of steak is 145 degrees F, which is medium doneness.
- Expert Tips
- If you want to be really fancy and don't mind spending extra use filet mignon. Super tender and so delicious!
- Ribeye steaks also work well or you could try a porterhouse steak.
- Tenderloin is another option, too!
- Cube the steak into uniform size, about 1'' cubes, so they cook evenly.
- Know your grill, different grills cook at different rates, so keep a close on these so you don't overcook your steak.
- Marinate the steak for at least 3 hours.
- Use other vegetables that you have to mix it up. Great ideas include squash, zucchini, pepper, onions, mushrooms and more.
