Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1.5-inch cubes
• 1 cup Burgundy red wine
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
• 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
• 2 tbsp butter (for grilling)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into large chunks
• 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into large chunks
• 1 red onion, cut into chunks
• Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the grill

1. Pour vegetable oil on three paper napkins.
2. Place them in the center of the Arteflame grill.
3. Stack firewood over the napkins.
4. Light the napkins and allow the fire to ignite the wood.
5. Wait 20 minutes for the grill to reach optimal cooking temperature.

Step 2: Marinate the beef

1. In a large bowl, combine red wine, Dijon mustard, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper.
2. Add the beef chunks and mix well to coat.
3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for maximum flavor.

Step 3: Assemble the skewers

1. Remove the marinated beef from the refrigerator.
2. Thread the beef, bell peppers, and red onion onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients.
3. Brush the skewers lightly with some of the marinade.

Step 4: Sear the beef

1. Place the skewers on the center grill grate of the Arteflame grill at over 1,000°F for an incredible crust.
2. Sear for about 1-2 minutes per side until a deep, caramelized crust forms.

Step 5: Finish on the cooktop

1. Move the seared skewers to the flat griddle cooktop to finish cooking to desired doneness.
2. Use a meat thermometer and remove the skewers when the beef is 15°F below your target temperature (e.g., remove at 120°F for medium-rare).
3. Let the skewers rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Tips

• Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.
• Use butter instead of oil for grilling to enhance the flavor.
• Grill additional veggies on the flat cooktop for a complete meal.
• Let the beef rest after grilling to retain juiciness.
• Experiment with different wood varieties for different smoky flavors.

Variations

• Garlic Butter Skewers: Replace the marinade with a garlic butter basting sauce for a rich, buttery taste.
• Herb-Crusted Skewers: Add finely chopped fresh basil and parsley for an herb-forward flavor.
• Spicy Skewers: Add chili flakes and cayenne to the marinade for a fiery kick.
• Asian-Inspired Skewers: Use soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil instead of Worcestershire and mustard.
• Mediterranean Skewers: Swap out rosemary and thyme for oregano and lemon zest.
