Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Beef Caprese Skewers featuring tender grilled beef sirloin, juicy cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and aromatic basil leaves, all drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze. Perfect for a quick meal or entertaining guests.


Ingredients

Scale

Beef Skewers

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into cubes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables & Cheese

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, cut into cubes
  • Fresh basil leaves

Finishing

  • Balsamic glaze, for drizzling


Instructions

  1. Season Beef: Season the beef sirloin cubes generously with salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavor.
  2. Assemble Skewers: Thread the beef cubes, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cubes, and basil leaves alternately onto skewers to create colorful and balanced skewers.
  3. Grill Skewers: Place the assembled skewers on a preheated grill over medium heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking and a nice char on all sides.
  4. Serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and drizzle them with balsamic glaze just before serving for a sweet and tangy finish.

Notes

  • Use wooden skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes prior to grilling to prevent burning.
  • Ensure beef cubes are evenly sized for uniform cooking.
  • For a smoky flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika to the beef seasoning.
  • Can be served with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
  • Balsamic glaze can be homemade by reducing balsamic vinegar with a little sugar or purchased ready-made.
