Equipment

  • Grill
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Skewers
  • Tongs
  • Meat Thermometer

Ingredients
  

Beef and Marinade

  • 2 lbs beef stew meat cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt for dry brining
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme chopped
  • 1 tsp black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes optional

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle the beef cubes with kosher salt and let them rest uncovered in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic, rosemary, thyme, black pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes.
  • Add the beef cubes to the marinade, ensuring each piece is fully coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • If using charcoal, prepare a two-zone fire with hot coals on one side. If using a gas grill, preheat to medium-high heat (around 400°F).
  • If using skewers, thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers, leaving some space between each piece.
  • Sear the beef over direct heat for 2-3 minutes on each side. Move the skewers to indirect heat and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F for medium-rare.
  • Remove the beef from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, marinate the beef overnight. Ensure the grill is properly preheated to achieve a good sear on the beef. Allow the beef to rest after grilling to redistribute the juices.
