With only five easy-to-double ingredients, these mouthwatering kabobs are one of our favorite recipes. We like them with hot cooked rice and a tossed salad. To prevent wooden skewers from burning, soak them in water for 30 minutes before threading on the meat. -Carole Fraser, Toronto, Ontario

Tips:

Choose the right cut of beef: For best results, use a tender cut of beef such as flank steak, tenderloin, or strip steak.
Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of balsamic vinegar, olive oil, herbs, and spices helps tenderize the meat and infuses it with delicious flavor.
Skewer the beef: Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes and skewer them onto metal or wooden skewers. Make sure the beef is tightly packed on the skewers so that it doesn't fall off during cooking.
Grill the beef: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and cook the beef skewers for 8-10 minutes, or until the beef is cooked to your desired doneness.
Make the balsamic glaze: While the beef is cooking, make the balsamic glaze by simmering balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, and Dijon mustard in a saucepan until the mixture has thickened and reduced by half.
Glaze the beef skewers: Once the beef skewers are cooked, brush them with the balsamic glaze and serve immediately.

Conclusion:

Balsamic glazed beef skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. The beef is tender and flavorful, and the balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy touch. These skewers are perfect for a summer barbecue or a party. They can also be served as a quick and easy weeknight meal.
