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.

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

The cashier making trumpet sounds is hilarious

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. 🤣🤣

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

This looks yummy, Sir. Thanks for sharing this

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.

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

Chef John, This looks absolute 🔥!! 😋💜

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.

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

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

Looks so delicious.thanks for sharing recipe.

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!!!

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.

Made these for dinner last night. Absolutely delicious!

God bless you, Chef John!

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.

​@@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

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.

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

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.

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

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??

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

They look delicious

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

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

Have a nice weekend. 😊

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

Great video as usual. Italian Potato Salad? Love potato salad. What is "Italian Potato Salad?"

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! 👏👏👏

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.

Very much enjoy the disposable basting brush.

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

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!

A nice bed of your pilaf rice would have been fantastic Chef!….and Sergio Leone is awesome. 😎
