Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lb. boneless beef sirloin tip steak (1 to 1 1/2 inches thick)
  • 1 (8-oz.) pkg. fresh whole mushrooms, halved
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into 12 squares

  • 1/2 cup purchased balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh marjoram or 3/4 teaspoon dried marjoram leaves

Steps

  • 1
    GRILL DIRECTIONS: Cut steak into 1-inch pieces. Place steak, mushrooms, bell pepper and zucchini in resealable food storage plastic bag. Pour dressing over steak and vegetables; add marjoram. Seal bag; turn several times to coat. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to marinate, turning occasionally.

    Heat grill. Remove steak and vegetables from marinade; reserve marinade. Alternately thread steak and vegetables onto six 12 to 14-inch metal skewers. Brush with reserved marinade.

    When ready to grill, place kabobs on gas grill over medium heat or on charcoal grill 4 to 6 inches from medium coals; cover grill. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until steak is of desired doneness, turning 2 or 3 times and brushing occasionally with marinade. Discard any remaining marinade.

  • To broil kabobs, place on broiler pan; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat using times above as a guide, turning 2 or 3 times and brushing occasionally with marinade.
  • Balsamic vinegar is a rich, sweet Italian vinegar made from white grapes. The vinegar gets its deep color and flavor from years of aging in wooden barrels.
  • Cut vegetables for the kabobs large enough so that they will not break apart when pierced with the skewer.
  • Marinades left over from raw meat, poultry and seafood can be brushed on food during cooking. Be sure to allow a few minutes of cooking time to thoroughly heat the marinade. Because it contains raw meat juices, do not serve leftover marinade with cooked food. However, a cooked sauce can be created from leftover marinade by boiling it for several minutes. Cooking the marinade makes it safe to eat.
