Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, basil, minced garlic, egg, and rosemary. Mix well until evenly combined.
2. Shape the Skewers:
- Divide the beef mixture into equal portions (about 10-12 portions). Shape each portion into a cylindrical form around skewers.
- If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes beforehand to prevent burning.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.
- Cook the beef skewers in batches, turning occasionally, until they are cooked through and nicely browned on all sides. This should take about 10-12 minutes.
- Remove cooked skewers from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the red pepper strips and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes until they start to soften.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and form a sauce.
- Stir in the vinegar and let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
- Arrange the beef skewers on a serving platter.
- Pour the melted capsicum and tomato mixture over the skewers.
- Garnish with extra rosemary or basil if desired.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as rice, quinoa, or a fresh salad.
Tips:
- Use fresh rosemary: For the best flavor, use fresh rosemary rather than dried. Fresh herbs make a significant difference in the depth of flavor.
- Soak skewers: If you're using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent them from burning.
- Do not over-mix: When combining the ground beef with other ingredients, mix gently to avoid making the meat tough.
- Preheat the grill: Ensure your grill is preheated to medium-high heat before cooking the skewers. This will help achieve a nice sear and prevent sticking.
- Cook vegetables separately: If you find that the vegetables cook faster than the skewers, consider cooking them separately and then arranging them on the plate with the skewers when serving.
Enjoy these delicious and aromatic rosemary beef skewers with melted capsicums. The combination of flavors from the juicy beef, fresh herbs, and roasted vegetables makes for a satisfying and memorable meal. Serve with your favorite side dishes and sauces for a complete culinary experience. Don't forget to savor every bite!
