There is no better way to finish this summer season than by having one last BBQ with friends and family (or on your own, for that matter) by serving marinated beef kabobs.

Made with tender steak cuts threaded with bell peppers, tomatoes and red onion (check out local farmer's markets for your favorite veggies), beef kabobs are an excellent way to end the barbecue season.

GRILLED SALMON SKEWERS FOR SUMMER BARBECUES: TRY THE RECIPE

(Makes 4 servings) 

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Whisk honey barbecue sauce, balsamic vinegar and Dijon mustard until blended. 

Set aside 1/2 cup of the mixture to use later for basting.

2. Add beef to the remaining mixture and place the beef cubes in a resealable bag. Marinate your cubes for eight hours in the fridge. This can be done overnight to further tenderize the meat. 

For a delicious beef kabob recipe, preheat your grill to medium heat. Once you begin cooking the kabobs, make sure the meat is up to temperature. (iStock)

3. Thread the beef cubes and sliced vegetables onto four soaked wooden skewers (soak the skewers first in warm water for 30 minutes) — or add to metal skewers when ready.
