⅓ cup olive oil
-
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
For the Potatoes:
-
1½ pounds baby potatoes

For Assembly:

6 metal or wooden skewers
Directions
1. Prepare the Steak Marinade:
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Assemble the Kebabs:
-
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
-
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
-
On each skewer, thread the ingredients in the following order: potato, steak cube, tomato. Repeat this pattern twice, ending with a potato.

FAQs
Can I use a different type of vinegar for the marinade?
Balsamic vinegar provides a unique sweetness and depth of flavor. While other vinegars can be used, they will alter the taste profile of the dish.
How do I prevent the wooden skewers from burning?
Soaking wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling helps prevent them from catching fire.

Yes, you can bake the assembled kebabs in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the steak is cooked to your liking.
What can I serve with these kebabs?
These kebabs pair well with sides like garlic bread, a fresh salad, or grilled vegetables.
