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.
Best Homemade Kabob Marinade
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.

Hi Krista,
We would love to make this; where do you add the ketchup and how much? Sorry if I missed this.
Thank you!
Hey Sarah, you didn’t miss it. I actually updated the recipe to make it better and omitted the ketchup. But if you wanted to still add it, you would add it to the marinade part. Hope you enjoy it!
Made this tonight . I cook a lot of steak .. my husband said this was the very best he has ever had !! Will be my new go too. Super easy and such a great flavor ! Thank you
Yes!!!! Always great to hear when a steak eater loves my steak recipes! 🙂
What can I use as a substitute for the specialty ketchup…I can’t find it where I am. Would normal ketchup with some Italian seasoning work?
Did you search for it on the store locator page? https://www.trainafoods.com/store-locator
You could sub it with regular ketchup and italian seasonings but it would have the sundried tomato taste.
I love vibrant these kabobs are! YUM!
What a gorgeous dish that has me drooling first thing in the a.m.! The ketchup sounds like a fabulous product, and quality ingredients is always a good thing! Yum!
haha.. thanks patricia! The ketchup is incredible, so flavorful and adds a nice brightness to the marinade!
This is so delicious! Perfect for spring and summer. We just bought a grill, so my husband would love these!
Woohoo! Definitely a must make in the summer!

Ohh thank you so much Elaine. I guess that means you MUST try them soon!
Balsamic and kabobs just seen to go so well together. Love your recipe for sweetening up the balsamic vinegar!
They sure do! Two peas in a pod.
These kabobs are so perfect for this weather! I can’t believe that BBQ season is finally here. We still haven’t had our first BBQ, but I’m pinning this recipe to try!
What? We had our first BBQ for Cinco de Mayo, it was great! Can’t wait for many more to come.
Oh my! We’re already deep into grilling season here and kebabs are one of my all time favorite ways to put an easy dinner on the table. These beef and vegetable beauties are going to make their way to our dinner table soon — and that sauce sounds fabulous. Will look for Traina in our markets.
Us too! Grilling has been my life the past 2 months and I LOVE it! You’ve got to try these kabobs, you’ll adore them!
