Grilled Hawaiian Beef Kabobs

Prep time: 45 minutes | Cook time: 15 minutes | Total time: approx. 1 hour | Serves: 12 skewers

Boys!!

Whenever we ask our family what they would like to eat, the boys answer, “steak.”

Ugh. Some of us can only eat so much steak before we are bored of the flavors and presentation!

Thankfully, we have some palettes in the house who were willing to try some new flavors!

I made these kabobs as a way to satisfy my boys’ desire for steak, my athletic daughter’s need for vegetables and fruit, and my husband’s recent pineapple craving.

I must say we instantly fell in love with these flavours and the ease of this recipe – and it is now in the regular rotation!

I served these with pineapple rice (recipe also included below) and a salad to balance everything out.

3. Add beef to the remaining marinade in a bowl. Toss to coat. Cover and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes. If marinating longer, be sure to refrigerate.

4. Meanwhile add reserved 1 cup marinade to a small saucepan and cook on medium, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half

5. Prep the pineapple and veggies.

6. Pre heat the grill to high. Layer beef and veggies on the skewers. Layer them so ingredients are touching, but not crowded together.

7. Grill the kabobs for 2-3 minutes preside, coating with the reduced marinade every time you turn them.

8. Remove from grill and serve.

This pineapple rice makes a great addition to the beef skewers for a little more substance! 

Ingredients

• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 8 0z can of crushed pineapple in juice
• 2 tsp brown sugar
