Ingredients
- 1 pound of sirloin or flank steak, cut into cubes
- Wooden skewers, soaked in water for 30 minutes
- For the aioli:
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the balsamic glaze:
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
Preparation Steps
Making the Balsamic Glaze
Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and simmer until the mixture thickens and reduces by half. Allow it to cool slightly before using.
Preparing the Aioli
In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Grilling the Skewers
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Thread the steak cubes onto the soaked skewers. Grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired doneness. During the last minute, brush the skewers generously with the balsamic glaze.
Serving Suggestions
Arrange the grilled skewers on a serving platter. Serve with the chilled balsamic glazed aioli on the side for dipping. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for an added touch of freshness.
This dish pairs well with a light salad or grilled vegetables. Its combination of savory, sweet, and tangy flavors makes it a standout choice for any occasion.
