In some parts of the Middle East, aka kebab land, they use pomegranate molasses for marinating the meat. Kabab-e-torsh, a northern Iranian specialty, is an example of that. Pomegranate molasses taste very much like balsamic vinegar. So, I am sure this tastes amazing.

[@MintyArisato]

Kebab land! Lmao I love it. My dad’s from the northern part of Iran, now I wanna ask him to make that

[@josephpalmer2903]

I just made this. I used barrel aged pomegranate balsamic vinegar from Texas Hill Country Olive Co. and omitted the honey. Didn't want it to be too sweet. Also used Sicilian infused olive oil for a little extra flavor and fresh rosemary out of the garden. Turned out amazing. Served it on some yellow rice with some fresh green onions. Thank you Chef John for all the years of incredible recipes and humor. I look forward to enjoying even more videos

[@wardrobelion]

Just yellow rice after all the specialty gourmet ingredients you used😂😂😂😂? Should've, at least, been garlic parmesan couscous😊 and asparagus 👍.

[@KnightOnBaldMountain]

Chef John has a singular delivery of the recipes he features. The presentation is delightful and the subtle humor is endearing.

[@jimstingily3903]

I made this for the fam the other night, this was perhaps the best beef marinade I've ever tasted. Everyone cleaned their plates which is rare for my beef averse girls. I did use the overnight marinade method but couldn't find aged balsamic simply because they didn't have any at my supermarket so I just used plain old organic balsamic.

[@gastonmarian7261]

The cashier making trumpet sounds is hilarious

[@Shea3224]

Chef John: “If people are watching it totally looks like We know what We are doing, which of course We do, *ALLEGEDLY!!*“ Oh, Chef John. 🤣🤣

[@clairjunior5291]

Chef John, your fantastic sense of humor adds more flavor to your recipes.

[@Lou-bg1xc]

When grilling, charcoal is the best. The taste and texture it provides to the grilled meat or vegetable, is second to none. Wow, the finished dish, looks amazing.

[@wardrobelion]

Fruit wood is awesome too.

[@zonazonabutthesecondzonais7051]

That was perfect Italian pronunciation! I’m impressed, Chef!

[@mickster1780]

Perfect timing chef John! I was looking for a fresh idea for this holiday weekend and this looks great 😃👍

[@Matcapoeira86]

You made my wife cry-laugh for 5 minutes with the Worcestershire sauce joke. Thank you for that! 😊

[@Burboss]

yay! always on watch for whatever recipe John posts. cuz' they are all fantastic!

[@dxcman1]

I made this tonight for the wife and I (cause the kids wont eat anything good) It was wonderful. I didn't have rosemary so I added fresh Thyme and I added fresh ginger since I had some I needed to get rid of. I also grilled some big chunks of red onions, green and red peppers with some Cajun seasoning. A complete keeper... Lovely.

[@purleybaker]

Sirloin is a great choice for this. It's a bit leaner than other steak cuts so it is less likely to cause flareups. Thanks for the great idea.

[@dalmatianluvr]

I almost always use sirloin for any sort of kebabs. Marinate for sure, so it isn't too dry without much marbling!

[@drsabanotubozuk]

chef I got a new account and haven't came accross your videos in a looooong time! so glad to have found you again alive and well and still kicking it! love from turqia!

[@Heliosaurus]

Very happy to see our boy Chef John still cookin after all these years

[@ange1i]

This looks yummy, Sir. Thanks for sharing this

[@pat-z]

So timely, Chef John! Thanks!!

[@godspeed2939]

God your timing of humor is great… the cashier was making trumpet sounds😂😂

[@patrickduley405]

When I was in the service down in Ft Knox a Hawaiian lady would make this for our beef or steak strips so delicious can’t wait to try it today. It’s been since the early 90s since I had this delicious meal.

[@saveusbloodymess]

My family is from Dagestan(North Caucus, part of Russia), and this marenade for scewerd meat is almost the exact eay my father makes the traditional Shashlik. White onion are the more common choice, and he usually adds cilantro/parsley(which I hate). And the traditional serving is as a pile of scewered meat with a bunch of chopped onion and greens on top. Anyway, while you won't find this in Italian grills, you are very likely to find it in Caucasian/Georgian grills.

[@rihardsrozans6920]

Shashlik is popular in a lot of post Soviet countries, kinda the answer to western worlds barbecue. We used to make our with white vinegar, lemons, black pepper and of course salt. Most often we would use pork though which I suppose is not very popular in Dagestan.

[@saveusbloodymess]

​@@rihardsrozans6920makes sense, i definitely seen similar dishes from Uzbeks and other former ussr countries, especially the southern republics. Pork meat is definitely less common, but still surprisingly common for Jews who came from a muslim republic, just not in this form. I definitely need to give that a try

[@KR-hg8be]

Made this for dinner tonight. Very good flavor! i also put peppers and some onion pieces on the skewers.

[@Shea3224]

Chef John, This looks absolute 🔥!! 😋💜

[@tracysmith9999]

Thanks, Chef John. Needed something different for my weekend grill.

[@ALaMode_Designer]

Yes! I'm excited for grilling recipes!

[@tomr3422]

the same basic preperation is amazing on pork chops grilled.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

They should make some kind of Memorial to Chef John. Maybe a weekend? Make it a long one.

[@danielmargolis3210]

But, thankfully, Chef John is still with us.

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

@@danielmargolis3210 Yup and we can all be Thankful. Maybe we can give Thanks?

[@MrVovansim]

We could also give our kids baskets and send them searching for hidden shakers of cayenne.

[@fergalhughes165]

​@lawrencetaylor4101 The old thanka thanka!!

[@Adam_K14]

Chef john is still kicking on youtube is amazing its like he's in his own bubble which i love still the same style same chef john 16 years he's had this channel amazing (yes i checked)

[@DonPandemoniac]

I'm a sucker for marinades, love this one!

[@Mustgtcs07]

That looks incredible Chef John. Gotta try this one cause I absolutely love beef on skewers. Summer is getting here and I'd do this with grilled veggies.

[@kukochan]

I just made this tonight and it was super yummy! Thank you for sharing!

[@matthewbarr5274]

Made this last night. 8 hour marinate. Delicious!!!

[@guycampbell733]

You are after all the Matt Frewer of your marinated beef skewer.

[@bonniepwtf]

👍

[@dalmatianluvr]

This seems remarkably similar in recipe and preparation to Pork Agrodulce, which is cubes of pork shoulder (or similar cuts) soaked, and then braised for several hours in the marinade, making a sauce. Fresh garlic mashed potatoes are wonderful with this! (Which I believe was also Chef John's suggestion!) I'm sitting here, realizing my mouth is now watering. I love this stuff!!!

[@dkatzism]

I have to enjoy the grilled dishes vicariously in my apartment where grilling on the terrace is not allowed. :(

[@danielmargolis3210]

George Forman grill?

[@TimTheInspector]

Get yourself a cast iron grill pan. It’s not exactly the same but for in an apartment it’s still decent.

[@PS-en7wn]

Omg. That should be against your human rights

[@MrVovansim]

That's unconstitutional!

[@marianlincoln9008]

I'm so Sorry... what the H E Double Hockey sticks is a terrace for if not living outside and enjoying a BBQ. Do you have an HOA... they need to be outlawed. If you really what to enjoy a BBQ flavor... try some Liquid Smoke and Cook in an Electric Skillet... It Ain't Perfect .. but it's better than Nothing.. Good Luck. ND HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY.

[@Myrdraall]

I use balsamic vinegar to cook thin slices of beef (like those used for sandwiches) with bell peppers in a pan. Quick and easy.

[@smurfman6377]

I am fixing this for supper tomorrow with grilled Brussel. sprouts and use the sauce over both.

[@voertsek8404]

Wow Chef …. Wow what a find ! Tried it this weekend it was a massive hit . Australia 🇦🇺

[@brbk4498]

I am going to sous vide and then sear on the grill. lol your recipes consistently taste great. Thanks for the awesome recipe

[@garyevans1984]

Chef John, I absolutely love your videos, your voice is so soothing and you really make me laugh, I have never made any of your recipes but I look forward to your new videos each week

[@chefdan87]

Ive been making the same thing with portabella mushrooms for a long time. I just dont marinate them. Basting them with the balsamic marinade while they are grilling i feel gets them perfect. It always turns out good.

[@dalmatianluvr]

I was just thinking a good thick, hearty slab of mushroom would work well this way! Or, just alternate the sirloin chunks with your favorite mushroom a la kebabs!

[@peggyboss1925]

My daughter in law loves balsamic vinegar so I’ll have to serve this the next time I have her over. Thanks for the recipe!

[@marilynsnider8183]

This is awesome. I'd make it in a heartbeat.

[@christopherbareja996]

12 hours marinating time you're gonna need more than one heartbeat

[@frankfurlacker5219]

Looks incredible.

[@espinalbm]

That look amazing and delicious 😋

[@murphygreen8484]

Rosemary's Baby, that looks unbelievably good

[@trikstari7687]

I was looking for something like this. Definitely going to have to try it.

[@trikstari7687]

I also cannot help but wonder what this would be like on a charcoal rotisserie prime rib.

[@DapurMamaDikaDika]

Looks so delicious.thanks for sharing recipe.

[@aliciaallen356]

Made these for dinner last night. Absolutely delicious!

[@pezboy715]

Request for CJ - While I’ve been a huge fan of your vids for ages, something that captivates me as a home cook is your pairings. Every main course vid (like this) has a “served with….” component and I wonder - Would you be willing to teach us home cooks how to select good side dishes or accompaniments for our mains??

[@marlenkirby1778]

Looks incredible! ....but if no grill, is this something I can do in the oven somehow? Thanks Chef John

[@rosewildbill6368]

Good with tzaziki !

[@epistte]

And pita

[@seriousmuffinman]

God bless you, Chef John!

[@sheryljeanne]

Have a nice weekend. 😊

[@Zahava777]

Yes! Pinchos! Yum. I'm gonna try this recipe, too

[@dryroasted5599]

Waiting for that Italian-inspired potato salad recipe...

[@crackedspyglass]

Gave it try, it’s very good

[@larrycanepa]

Thanks for showing me what I'm making Sunday night for dinner... 😜

[@dsr0116]

My favorite pork tenderloin that I make is a simple balsamic and dijon mustard marinade.

[@jesauce9464]

My personal favorite is Goetta on rye with swiss and spicy mustard.

[@StarCitizenJorunn]

That looks so amazingly good

[@AllinOnewithRafy]

just started my cooking channel. i hope mine grows like ya channel has! keep up the great content

[@PastorKilla]

Looks good! You got yourself a new sub bud ! Keep it up

[@tonirasic1728]

Looking Forward to that Italien potato salad, john

[@eugeneportnoy900]

Hi Chef Johnson, It's very good recept. Is soon whether in MN will more stable I will try do this. Thanks again.

[@PDXTundra]

What?

[@tomr3422]

The same preperation is great on pork/pork chops- I never considered it on beef- but it looks like a winner

[@Mark723]

Which means it would work equally as well on chicken for dinner...

[@dalmatianluvr]

See Chef's Pork Agrodulce!

[@SchuylerYh]

Cheers chef John

[@victorbitter583]

That looked every bit as good as that knife looked sharp. Nicely done.

[@infoscholar5221]

Hmmm. My wife's on a low carb diet, going to make some pineapple cocktail to go along as a side. Great recipe idea, as always, Frere Jean.

[@jesauce9464]

My food wish is an episode about Goetta!!! it's so delicious! it's tricky to cook but very versatile. There is only one brand of Goetta, it's Glier's *not a sponsor*

[@NeganSmith-bb1fr]

Thanks to the marinade these somehow look extra grilled, a level beyond a mortal's grilled

[@Deebridge923]

Looks delicious

have you a favorite knife sharpener? also what cut of beef was that, great eats

[@TomQuiNEstPasLa]

I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this now that the Memorial Day Weekend heat is upon us, but I've been wondering what to do with my bottle of aged balsamic I've got in the pantry that wouldn't just be salads. Definitely going to try this!

[@jimmyvillaflor5222]

The real question is, did this cashier even realize who was buying those mushrooms?? Or was he too busy making trumpet sounds to realize he was in the presence of a LEGEND? I hope it was at the very least a FANFARE for this KING OF ZING, this CHIEF OF BEEF, the one and only, CHEF JOHN! 👏👏👏

[@bradstanley1493]

I love your basting brush 😂👍

[@MultiPetercool]

Portobello Mushrooms would be a good substitute for Trumpets if you can’t find them.

[@seanbrossard8178]

Hello from Sacramento CA

[@pitchforkmechanic7797]

I made a horrible miscalculation my second time making this recipe and didn’t have balsamic vinegar OR Worcestershire sauce. I subbed in a balsamic glaze (reduced vinegar with a little sugar) and A1 steak sauce. I think the substitutions made these slightly better than the original.

[@Rainiers]

The way i salivated throughout this video 🤤

[@MrVovansim]

I'd crush that dish with just some olive rosemary focaccia on the side.

[@jlsanford]

i have a technical question. I want to vacuum marinade the meat, then sous vide and sear it for a finish. ...will it work?

[@markjdunbar]

You should definitely try it, but you might want to shorten the marination time a little. If the vinegar gets too deep into the meat, I can imagine it tightening up the proteins a little and making it slightly drier or slightly tougher. Still, that's going to be a balancing act, because it's also going to make it flavorful, so give it a try. As Chef John might say, "That's just you cookin'."

[@trishblakely3476]

Very much enjoy the disposable basting brush.

[@En_Marche]

I’d drink that marinade!

[@jeannetaylor2217]

OMGOSH!! Fantastic! 💕🙏🙏

[@ericfuhrer2013]

Chef, Did you marinate the schrooms?

[@janasoskova007]

Perfection

[@johnosmeltzer]

A like just for the western spaghetti rhyme (which came late, and of course, we’re all waiting for)

[@СпасЯнков-э2ч]

Chef John show how to grill the mushrooms

[@ronrampfel2197]

Isn't vinegar in a metal bowl for that long inadvisable?

[@grimslepers]

this looks so good, who else is going to make this asap?
