Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound beef (sirloin or tenderloin)
- 6 fresh figs, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 bell peppers, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
Cut the beef into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped figs, balsamic vinegar, honey, olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to make the marinade.
Place the beef cubes in a resealable plastic bag or a large bowl, and pour in the marinade. Ensure all the beef is coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
Assemble the kabobs by threading the marinated beef, bell peppers, and onion wedges onto the soaked skewers, alternating ingredients to distribute evenly.
Brush the assembled kabobs with any remaining marinade to enhance flavor.
Grill the kabobs for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness (135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium).
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Fig Balsamic Glazed Beef Kabobs warm with your favorite side dishes, such as rice or a fresh garden salad.
