These Islay-inspired beef skewers bring together bold fire cooking and the unmistakable character of peated whisky.
Seasoned with Smokey Rebel Revolution seasoning, the beef is grilled hot and fast to develop a rich crust, then finished with a light Smokehead whisky glaze that adds depth without overpowering the meat.
The result is tender, charred beef with a balance of savoury spice and subtle smoky sweetness, with the whisky tying everything together.
This is a simple but elevated dish that works perfectly for BBQ cooking, small plates or sharing boards, especially when paired with a dram of Smokehead alongside.
Instead of masking the beef, the seasoning enhances its natural flavour, while the whisky finish adds a final layer that makes the dish stand out.

600g beef (sirloin or rump), cut into chunks
2 tbsp Smokey Rebel Revolution seasoning
1 tbsp oil
30ml Smokehead whisky
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp honey
Pinch salt
Fresh parsley, chopped
Lemon wedges
Thread onto skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
Cook over high heat on a BBQ or grill.
Turn regularly to develop a crust on all sides.
In a small pan, gently warm the whisky with butter and honey.
Let it melt together into a light glaze, do not boil.
Brush or drizzle the whisky glaze over the skewers just before serving.
You can return them briefly to the grill for 1–2 minutes to set the glaze.
Finish with chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon.
Serve immediately while hot.
Sirloin and rump both work well. For a more tender option, use ribeye, but keep an eye on flare-ups from the fat.
High heat is key to getting a proper sear. Make sure your grill is fully preheated before cooking.
The whisky should complement the beef, not overpower it. Keep the glaze light and balanced.
Serve with flatbreads, grilled vegetables or as part of a sharing platter.
