Marinated Steak, Mushroom & Pepper Kabobs

Steak, mushrooms and peppers are marinated in an herbed red wine and oil mixture and then made into kabobs which are barbecued.

Often times you see prepared skewers for sale in the meat section of the local butcher shop or grocery store. You should be wary when you see raw mushrooms or peppers on the skewers. The mushrooms need to be marinated or moistened or they will dry out and break when cooking. The peppers need to be blanched so that they are soft enough to be skewered and will stay moist and together when cooking.

These Steak, Mushroom & Pepper Kabobs are marvelous. I served them recently with my Asparagus with Orange Vinaigrette.

Delicious!

Ingredients

1/3 cup red wine
1/2 cup olive oil
2 Cloves garlic (finely minced or grated)
1/2 Tsp dried rosemary
1/2 Tsp dried basil
1/2 Tsp dried oregano
3/4 Tsp salt
freshly ground pepper
2 Tbsp your favourite bbq sauce
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
1 Tsp Worcestershire sauce
1.5 Lb (800gm) sirloin steak (cut into 1 1/2 or 2 inch cubes)
2 Cups medium to large cremini mushrooms
2 red or yellow or orange or green sweet pepper
10 metal skewars or wooden skewars (which have been soaked in water)

Directions


Wash the peppers, cut in half and remove the seeds. Then cut each half into quarters and each of the quarters into 2 or 3 generous sized pieces. Blanche in boiling water for 2 minutes and then drain.

In large (non- metal) bowl combine everything except the steak, mushrooms and peppers. Mix well and then add the steak, mushrooms and blanched peppers, stirring to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 3 hours at room temperature or all day (or overnight) in the refrigerator. Turn the meat and vegetables several times.

Drain the meat and vegetables. Alternate meat, mushroom and pepper on each skewer. You will probably have enough for 10 skewers.

Heat the barbecue to medium high. Place the skewers on the hot grill, turning every couple of minutes. The beef will be cooked to medium (just pink inside) in about 15 minutes.
