Java Beef Kebabs with a Coffee Glaze
These kebabs are taken up a notch by a jolt of coffee that adds complexity to this dry glaze. Simply coat whatever food you’re cooking and let the heat coax out a flavourful caramel crust! We suggest using your favourite veggies or swapping in a few pieces of fruit.
Equipment

Ingredients
Kebabs
- 1 lb sirloin grilling steak

- 2 tbsp finely ground coffee beans
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp dried garlic
- ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Wired coffee glaze
- In a bowl, whisk together all ingredients until evenly combined.
- Let stand at least 20 min for flavours to blend and bloom. Refrigerate up to 5 days.
Kebabs
- Trim and discard excess fat from beef. Cut beef into large cubes. Place in a bowl and coat with glaze. If you have extra time, marinate in the fridge for 1 hour or overnight.
- Lightly coat veggies with oil and season with salt and pepper. Thread beef onto skewers alternating with zucchini and onion.
- Preheat grill to high. Place kebabs on grill; sear 2 minutes per side. Reduce heat to medium. Turn often until beef is cooked and veggies are lightly charred, about 3-5 more minutes.
