Spring is upon us and with that means warmer temperatures and more time spent in backyards around the grill. Try this simple recipe of steak and vegetable kabobs that the family will surely enjoy!

Ingredients:

• 1 lb sirloin steak; cut into 1 inch cubes
• 1 red onion; cut into approx. 1 inch cubes
• 2 bell peppers; any color
• 1 pack Button Mushrooms; halved
• Marinade:
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ⅓ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Mix all marinade ingredients well. Place steak cubes and vegetables in marinade for a minimum of one hour or up to overnight in sealed bag or container.
2. If using wooden skewers, soak skewers in water for 30 minutes prior to assembly. Metal skewers work well too. Pre-heat grill to high temperature. Begin assembly of kabobs, alternating vegetable and steak cubes, leaving an inch or two of skewer in each end. Save leftover marinade.
3. Place kabobs on grill over high heat, reducing to medium heat once all are placed. Grill for 8-10 minutes rotating 3 or 4 times to ensure an even cook.
4. While kabobs are cooking, put leftover marinade into a sauce pan on medium-high heat to reduce to a thicker sauce, stirring occasionally, should bubble slightly.
5. Remove kabobs from grill and cover with foil to rest for 5 minutes. Drizzle reduced sauce prior to serving.
6. Plate kabobs over your favorite rice and enjoy!

Note: This recipe is very interchangeable with your choice of vegetables or meat. Other suggestions could be chicken, zucchini, yellow squash, cherry tomatoes, Yukon potatoes (boiled prior to grilling), or even pineapple to add sweetness!
