Veggie Steak Kabobs

Ingredients:

1/2 cup olive oil

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

2 tablespoons ketchup

2 or 3 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce

1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

1.5 pounds beef top sirloin steak, cubed

1/2 pound whole fresh mushrooms

1 green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces

1 zuchinni, cut into 1 inch pieces

1 can pineapple chunks

Directions:

In a large resealable plastic bag, comgine the oil, vinegar, ketchup, garlic, worcestershire sauce, and seasonings. Pour half of this mixture into another large resealable plastic bag.

Add beef cubes to one bag, and turn to coat evenly.

Add mushrooms, peppers, and zuchinni to the other bag and mix that up.

Refridgerate for up to 4 hours to marinate.

Put kabob sticks in some water to soak (so they wont catch on fire..)

Alternate between meat and veggies onto kabobs.(don't forget the pineapples that didn't get put in the marinade though!)

Cook over the george forman, rotating so they can cook through evenly.

Serve with rice.

Verdict:

These were pretty good! It's another one of those recipes that takes a bit longer to prepare, plus you have to let it sit for 4 hours before you can cook it. I got a spice rack for my wedding and haven't used any of the spices on it, and since this recipe used quite a few of them I was excited! The recipe I got this from said to drain the marinade from the steak, but save the marinade from the veggies for basting.. I didnt end up having any liquid just chilling, it all soaked into the veggies. The recipe also said to cook over a grill or to broil 4 inches from the heat for 10 to 14 minutes.. we decided the george sounded like an easier route. Grill would have been ideal, but we don't have one! Although this dinner was a little more work than most, it was a good one! Not one I'd cook all the time because there's nothing super special about it, but it's one I'd cook every once in a while.
