Description

Beef Caprese Skewers combine tender grilled sirloin beef cubes with fresh cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil, all drizzled with a sweet balsamic glaze. This quick and flavorful appetizer is perfect for summer gatherings or a light dinner.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 lb beef sirloin, cut into cubes
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella, cut into cubes
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Balsamic glaze
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Season the beef: Pat the beef sirloin cubes dry and season them generously with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor before grilling.
  2. Assemble the skewers: Thread the beef cubes, cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cubes, and basil leaves alternately onto skewers, ensuring even distribution of all components.
  3. Grill the skewers: Place the skewers on a preheated grill over medium heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure the beef is cooked evenly and the vegetables are slightly charred.
  4. Drizzle with balsamic glaze: Once grilled, remove the skewers from the heat and drizzle them generously with balsamic glaze for a sweet and tangy finish. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
  • You can substitute balsamic glaze with a reduced balsamic vinegar for a homemade touch.
  • Adjust seasoning according to your taste preference.
  • Serve with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
