  2. In a bowl, whisk together the honey, balsamic, olive oil, crushed garlic, thyme and grated onion until well combined.

  4. Set your barbecue to medium heat
  5. On a skewer place a cube of beef, slice of red onion and fig, repeat until full. Continue with the remaining skewers. Do not throw away the excess marinade
