The Best Summer Dinner Recipe
These Grilled Balsamic Beef Kabobs scream summer to me, which is good because summer is right around the corner. Cason gets out of school in less than a month and then it’s summer break! Wow this school year has gone fast!
I seriously can’t wait though. I’ve missed having my little guy around during the day and this year we’ll have access to a pool (AT OUR HOUSE) all summer long! Which means we’ll be living in swim suits and devouring goods from the grill. Starting with these Beef Kabobs.
I don’t know about you but hamburgers, fish, steaks, light salads, kabobs and pizzas on the grill are a must for us all summer long. I rarely use the stove top. Because we use all of the same proteins in the summer, I try to change up the flavors by utilizing unique condiments or toppings.
Recently I came across some incredible flavor popping condiments and fresh sun dried fruit by Traina Foods and have absolutely fallen in love! Traina is based out of California and prides itself on their natural organic farming practicing and use of innovative technology to produce high quality sun dried fruits! Traina puts the SUN to work for them by using solar panels at their processing and packaging plants for 100% of their energy needs to give you the product you want! How awesome is that!
They are the leading producer of the finest sun dried tomatoes in the world! Now that is quite an accomplishment! Traina sells a huge variety of California sun dried fruits and they have recently come out with a new line called “fruitons” that are bite size sun dried fruits in a package that you could add to your salad, granola, bruschetta, charcuterie board or just eat plain. They have also received several awards for their Sun Dried Tomato Ketchups! Basically, they are rock stars!
Best Homemade Kabob Marinade
This Ketchup is the perfect showcase ingredient in my balsamic marinade and glaze to make these Kabobs burst with vibrant flavor!
Beef Kabobs on their own are delicious but if you amp them up with a sauce they become irresistible! Now, i know that it sounds like a lot but I marinade the meat in half of the sauce and then reserve the rest to glaze the kabobs with while they are cooking on the grill. HECK YES!
Y’all these kabobs are absolutely insane!
Bon Appetit friends and happy grilling!

Description
This juicy, grilled kabobs recipe with sweet-and-savory balsamic marinade and fresh, crunchy veggies is an easy summer lunch.
Ingredients
Balsamic Beef:
- 2lbs top sirloin, cut into 1” cubes
- 1/2 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon dry rosemary or 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Kabobs Ingredients:
- 2 yellow peppers, cubed
- 2 green peppers, cubed
- 1 red onion, cubed
- 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup whole baby bella mushrooms
Instructions
- In a large bowl, mix balsamic vinegar, olive, mustard, rosemary, garlic, honey, salt and pepper. Whisk until everything is combined. Reserve 1/3 cup of marinade and set aside.
- Add cut beef to a bowl. Pour the marinade on top. Toss to coat the beef. Cover and place in the refrigerator and marinate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Assemble kabobs: alternate yellow pepper, green pepper, red onion, meat, cherry tomatoes and mushrooms. Repeat. (I try to get 3-4 pieces of meat per skewer) Continue process until ingredients are gone.
- Heat grill to medium high heat, about 375-400°F.
- Make sure that grill grates are clean. Spray grill grates with cooking spray or rub down with an olive oil soaked rag.
- Place steak kabobs directly on the grill. Grill each side for 3-4 minutes, you want a nice char. Remove the kabobs from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve with reserved 1/3 cup marinade.
