Ingredients

• 1 pound Beef sirloin (cut into 1-inch cubes)
• 1 cup Red wine (dry, such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 tablespoon Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Rosemary (fresh, chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 1 large Red onion (cut into large chunks)
• 2 medium Bell peppers (any color, cut into 1-inch pieces)
• 8 whole Button mushrooms
• 10 whole Cherry tomatoes
• 8 pieces Skewers (wooden or metal)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the red wine, olive oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, brown sugar, chopped rosemary, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

Place the beef cubes in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, ensuring all pieces are well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best flavor.

Step 3

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Step 4

Prepare the vegetables by cutting the red onion and bell peppers into large chunks, leaving the mushrooms and cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 5

Remove the beef from the marinade, allowing the excess to drip off. Set the marinade aside for basting later.

Step 6

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (approximately 375–400°F).

Step 7

Assemble the kabobs by threading the beef, red onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes onto skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.

Step 8

Place the assembled kabobs on the preheated grill. Cook for 10–12 minutes, turning every 2–3 minutes, until the beef reaches desired doneness and the vegetables are slightly charred.

Step 9

Brush the kabobs with the reserved marinade during grilling for extra flavor, but discontinue basting in the final 2 minutes to ensure food safety (do not reuse marinade after it has been in contact with raw meat).

Step 10

Remove the kabobs from the grill and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot alongside a fresh salad, rice, or your favorite side dish.
