Scale
Marinade
- 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 4 Tbsp chutney
- 4 Tbsp tomato sauce
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary
- 1 Tbsp crushed garlic
- 1/2 cup red wine
Kebabs
- 1 large steak, cut into bite-sized chunks
- Cherry tomatoes
- Barbecue spice, to taste
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cut 1 large steak into even bite-sized chunks so everything cooks at the same pace.
- Season the steak pieces with barbecue spice, salt, and black pepper, then set aside while you sort the marinade.
- In a jug or blender, combine 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar, 2 Tbsp soy sauce, 4 Tbsp chutney, 4 Tbsp tomato sauce, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 Tbsp crushed garlic, and 1/2 cup red wine. Blend or whisk until smooth and slightly thick.
- Thread the seasoned steak chunks onto kebab skewers, alternating with cherry tomatoes. Don’t pack them too tightly, or they won’t cook evenly.
- Place the kebabs in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, turning to coat well.
- Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hrs, flipping once if you remember. This step makes a big difference, so don’t rush it.
- Heat the braai to medium coals.
- Grill the kebabs for 10–12 mins, turning regularly and brushing with extra marinade as they cook. Watch closely near the end since the sugar can catch quickly.
- Remove from the heat once the steak is cooked to your liking and slightly caramelised on the edges.
- Rest the kebabs for a few minutes before serving so the juices stay put.
