Grilled Beef and Brussels Sprouts

April 19, 2024

When it comes to grilling, beef often takes the spotlight. But pairing it with the right vegetable can turn a simple meal into something unexpectedly delicious. Enter Brussels sprouts. Once misunderstood, these little green gems have earned their place on modern plates, especially when grilled to bring out their natural sweetness and crisp edges.

Grilled beef and Brussels sprouts make a bold, flavorful duo. The beef delivers savory richness, while the sprouts provide earthy contrast and texture. When both hit the grill, they develop a smoky char that enhances their individual flavors and unites them in one cohesive dish.

This combo works well in a variety of ways. You can thread beef cubes and halved Brussels sprouts onto skewers for easy grilling and serving. Or, grill the sprouts in a basket while cooking a marinated steak alongside. No matter the method, the result is a satisfying mix of juicy meat and crisp-tender vegetables.

What really makes this pairing special is the balance. The slight bitterness of Brussels sprouts pairs beautifully with the umami of grilled beef. Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of balsamic glaze, and the dish gets a bright, acidic lift that cuts through the richness. Toss in some garlic or herbs for an extra punch of flavor.

Grilled beef and Brussels sprouts are also incredibly versatile. They can be the star of your dinner plate or served over rice, grains, or salad greens for a complete meal. Leftovers? Chop them up and toss into a wrap or grain bowl for an easy lunch the next day.

This dish proves that grilling doesn’t have to be about heavy sauces or complicated techniques. With just a few quality ingredients and a hot grill, you can create a meal that feels both rustic and refined. It’s ideal for weeknights, cookouts, or any time you want to keep things simple and flavorful.

    I mean, how can you go wrong with steak?? But the sprouts were eh.

      Steak is life! But yeah, I feel you on the sprouts. They can be hit or miss. Did you try seasoning them more?

      Honestly, I love brussels sprouts! But some people just can’t appreciate their flavor. Grilling them is the best way!

  4. User avatar Michael83 says:

    Is it really necessary to let the steak rest? I didn’t and it was still good. Just saying!

  5. User avatar brice.bartoletti65 says:

    Great, but I forgot to buy thyme and used oregano instead. Still tasty!

    1. User avatar lawrence.christiansen22 says:

      Oregano isn’t too bad, glad it still turned out tasty! I’ll have to try that next time. 😄

      I dunno if that substitution works. Thyme’s flavor is different. Hope it wasn’t too weird!

      Wow, I never thought I’d hear someone say that about brussels sprouts! This recipe sounds great. I’ll have to try it!

  7. 3 stars
    I thought steak was supposed to be grilled longer. I did it 7 minutes on each side and it was too done. Be careful!

      You can fry it, but grilling gives it a unique flavor! Give it a try!

    Why does it take so long to grill?! I burned my steak. 😩

    1. User avatar Barry Manilow says:

      3 stars
      Grilling’s all about timing! Keep an eye on the clock or maybe marinate it longer next time to prevent burns. 😬

    2. User avatar liza.mckenzie47 says:

      4 stars
      Sorry to hear about your steak! It can be tricky to get the timing right, maybe try using a meat thermometer next time? 🤔

  36. User avatar rich.landlord says:

    Too much oil! Next time I’ll use less. Might try with chicken.

    1. 4 stars
      I think the oil really helps keep the beef juicy! But yeah, chicken could work too. Just adjust the cooking time!

    2. User avatar Andrea Corwin says:

      3 stars
      Less oil? I dunno, man. Looks good as is! But chicken might not have the same flavor…
