Ingredients

• 2 lbs beef sirloin, cut into cubes
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp ground allspice
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 8-10 wooden or metal skewers
• Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Grill

1. Pour vegetable oil onto three paper napkins.
2. Place the napkins inside the grill and stack firewood over them.
3. Light the napkins and allow the grill to heat up for 20 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Marinade

1. In a large bowl, mix soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, honey, apple cider vinegar, allspice, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
2. Add the beef cubes to the marinade and coat well.
3. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes (or overnight for best results).

Step 3: Skewer the Beef

1. Thread the marinated beef cubes onto the skewers.
2. Brush the skewers with melted butter for added richness.

Step 4: Sear and Cook the Beef

1. Place the skewers on the center grill grate at 1,000F for a high-heat sear.
2. Sear each side for about 1-2 minutes until a flavorful crust forms.
3. Move the skewers to the surrounding flat cooktop to finish cooking to the desired doneness.
4. Remove the skewers from the grill when the internal temperature is 15F below the target temperature.

Step 5: Rest and Serve

1. Let the skewers rest for 5 minutes.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Tips

• For extra smoky flavor, use cherry or hickory wood.
• Use a meat thermometer for precise doneness.
• Always soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning.

Variations

2. Spicy Nordic Kick: Mix in 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
3. Sweet & Tangy Twist: Substitute honey with lingonberry jam for a unique Swedish touch.
