This grilled balsamic beef would be one of my signature dishes if I were a chef at a barbecue restaurant. The aged balsamic vinegar-based marinade is perfectly balanced, and grilling over high heat creates a beautiful sear.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1/2 cup aged balsamic vinegar

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 6 garlic cloves, finely minced

  • 1/2 cup sliced green onion

  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 2 teaspoons honey

  • 1/4 cup fresh rosemary leaves

  • 2 pounds beef top sirloin

  • 4 skewers

Directions

  1. Whisk balsamic vinegar, olive oil, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, green onion, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and honey together in a bowl. Add rosemary and set aside.

  2. Cut beef into cubes about 1 1/4- to 1 1/2- inch square and add to marinade; stir to coat all cubes well. Wrap and refrigerate overnight, tossing occasionally if possible.

  3. Thread beef on 4 skewers, and pat dry with paper towels before grilling. Save any excess marinade for basting.

  4. Grill over high heat, basting occasionally with marinade, about 5 minutes per side for medium, or until beef reaches desired doneness. Remove meat from grill and let rest 5 minutes before serving.

  5. Meanwhile, bring remaining marinade to a boil in a saucepan. Strain and use as a sauce for serving.
