Tonight is the first night my family and I have all been home for dinner in several weeks! We have been busy running to baseball games, baseball practices, swimming lessons, birthday parties...you can relate, right?  So, for our rare dinner-at-home I made these Steak and Veggie Kabobs.

My husband really enjoys these steak and veggie kabobs. I have a hard time getting them to the table because he keeps wandering through the kitchen nibbling as he goes! The kids and I have to make sure to serve ourselves first, otherwise it may be PB&J for us.

The marinade adds a nice tanginess to the steak. It's easy to adapt to your preferences; I like to use different flavored vinegars to change things up a bit. I haven't tried different flavors of mustard, but that would be fun, too!



Steak and Veggie Kabobs

1 lb. sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
cherry tomatoes
mushroom caps
2 tsp. canola oil

Marinade:
2 T. water
1 1/2  T. coarse-grain Dijon-style mustard
2 T. red wine vinegar
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp. canola oil
1 tsp. kosher salt
1/2 tsp. coarse grind black pepper
  1. Combine marinade ingredients. Place beef and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 4 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.
  2. Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. Thread beef onto skewers.
  3. In bowl, drizzle canola oil over tomatoes and mushroom caps. Thread vegetables onto skewers.
  4. Grill, uncovered, 7-9 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness.
