Recipe

Serves 4

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger ..or.. 1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper flakes
12 ounces boneless sirloin steak, trimmed and cut into 1-inch cubes
8 cherry tomatoes
4 large mushrooms, cut in half
1 green bell pepper, cored, seeded, and cut into 8 squares

In a shallow glass dish, combine soy sauce, honey, ginger, garlic, lemon peel, and red pepper flakes. Mix well. Add beef; stir to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally.

Preheat broiler. Remove beef from the marinade. Discard marinade. Using four 10-inch metal skewers, alternately thread beef, tomatoes, mushrooms, and bell pepper. Place on broiler pan.

Broil 2 inches from heat, turning 2 or 3 times, until meat is medium-rare and vegetables are lightly browned, about 1 minutes. Place on serving plates and serve immediately.

Prepare In Advance:
Marinate beef and assemble skewers up to 1 day in advance.
Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to cook. Place on broiler pan and proceed as directed in Step 3.

Cook's Tips:
Prepare mixed vegetables for kebabs by choosing vegetables with similar cooking times, then cut them into bite-size pieces or lengths. Small vegetables such as cherry tomatoes are best kept whole.

Green onions, fennel, red onion, eggplant, and summer squash would also be appropriate vegetables for skewering.

Metal skewers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. For best results, choose skewers that are square or flat; they will hold food more securely.
