Ingredients for Beef Kabobs With Apricot Glaze

  • Apricot Halves
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Dijon Mustard
  • Basil Leaves
  • Sirloin Steak
  • Green Pepper
  • Mushroom
  • Skewers

How to Make Beef Kabobs With Apricot Glaze

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup apricot syrup and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Whisk until the cornstarch is completely dissolved.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a glaze consistency (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil. Set aside.
  4. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. Cut 1 lb beef sirloin into 1-inch cubes. Thread the beef, 1 cup halved apricots, 1 green bell pepper (cut into 1-inch pieces), and 1 cup sliced mushrooms alternately onto the prepared skewers.
  6. Preheat grill to medium-high heat or preheat broiler.
  7. Brush the kabobs generously with the apricot glaze.
  8. Grill or broil the kabobs for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the beef reaches your desired level of doneness, brushing occasionally with the remaining glaze.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
