These Rosemary Garlic Steak Kebabs feature juicy sirloin, tender baby potatoes, and sweet grape tomatoes in a rich balsamic marinade. Parboiling the potatoes first ensures everything cooks evenly on the grill.

Equipment

  • 6 metal or wooden skewers
  • Grill
  • Large bowls
  • Large pan

Ingredients
 

Steak Marinade

  • ½ cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 14 ounces sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes

Tomato Marinade

  • 2 cups whole grape tomatoes
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary (stems removed), chopped

Potatoes

  • 1 ½ pounds baby potatoes
  • 6 metal or wooden skewers

Instructions
 

Make the Marinades

  • Heat the grill to medium, and soak wooden skewers in water while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
  • Whisk the balsamic vinegar, honey, whole grain mustard, and minced garlic in a large bowl, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the sirloin cubes and turn them until all sides are coated, then cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  • Combine the grape tomatoes, olive oil, and chopped rosemary in a separate bowl, then set them aside.

Prepare the Steak and Potatoes

  • Put the baby potatoes in a large pan, cover them with water by 1 inch, and bring the water to a boil.
  • Cook the potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes, then drain them and let them cool slightly.

Assemble the Kebabs

  • Thread each skewer in this order: potato, steak, tomato, then repeat that pattern two more times and finish with a potato.

Grill to Perfection

  • Lightly oil the grill grates, place the kebabs over the heat, and cook for about 5 minutes per side, or about 10 minutes total.
  • Move the kebabs off the heat and let them rest briefly before serving.

Notes

Potato Tip: Do not skip boiling the potatoes first. They should be barely fork-tender to ensure they finish cooking on the grill at the same time as the steak.
Grilling Tip: Leave a small amount of space between ingredients on the skewer. This helps heat circulate for better browning and char instead of steaming.
Oven Method: To cook in the oven, preheat the broiler and place kebabs on a foil-lined sheet about 6 inches from the heat. Broil for 4-6 minutes per side, watching closely.
Storage: Store cooled leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator and use within 3 to 4 days, in line with USDA leftovers guidance. For best results, remove items from the skewer before reheating.
