Ingredients
Scale
Beef Skewers
- 2 pounds beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 8 wooden skewers, soaked in water
Marinade
- 1/2 cup bone marrow fat, melted
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the grill: Set your grill to medium-high heat to ensure it’s ready for the beef skewers, which will cook quickly and develop a nice char.
- Prepare the marinade: In a bowl, mix the melted bone marrow fat with minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper until evenly combined to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the beef: Add the sirloin cubes into the marinade and toss thoroughly so each piece is coated. Let the beef marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the rich flavors.
- Thread the skewers: Carefully thread the marinated beef pieces onto the pre-soaked wooden skewers, ensuring even spacing for uniform cooking.
- Grill the skewers: Place the skewers on the preheated grill and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to allow all sides to brown and cook evenly.
- Baste and serve: Remove the skewers from the grill and baste with any remaining bone marrow fat for extra moisture and flavor before serving.
Notes
- Soaking wooden skewers in water prevents them from burning on the grill.
- Marinating for longer than 30 minutes can enhance flavor but isn’t necessary.
- Bone marrow fat adds a unique richness, but you can substitute with high-quality clarified butter if unavailable.
- Serve skewers with a fresh salad or grilled vegetables for a balanced meal.
