Instructions
Cut vegetables into chunks. Bring pot of water to boil. Add all veggies except tomatoes to boiling water for 1 minute. Drain and immediately add to large bowl of ice water. Drain very well.
Combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire and steak spice. Marinate beef chunks and blanched vegetables for at least 4 hours or over night.
If using wooden skewers, soak in tall glass of water for at least one hour, flipping if necessary.
Thread meat and vegetables onto skewers in alternating pattern, with onion beside each chunk of meat. Top with cherry tomato or mushroom. Use 5 chunks of beef and different coloured vegetables on each skewer for best presentation.
Grill on high and roll or quarter turn every 2 minutes until meat and veggies are well charred and meat is medium rare.
Notes
Nutritional information is based on some of the marinade not being consumed and using beef tenderloin which is leaner than strip loin or ribeye.
