Italian Marinade

Ingredients

  • 1-1/2 lbs. beef top sirloin steak (cut into 1-inch cubes)

Instructions

In a small bowl, combine the marinade ingredients. Pour half the marinade into a large zip lock plastic bag; add beef. Seal bag and turn to coat.

Pour remaining marinade into another large zip lock plastic bag; add tomatoes. Cut remaining vegetables into 1-inch pieces; add to bag. Seal and turn to coat. Refrigerate beef and vegetables for at least 2 hours. Longer is better.

Drain and discard marinade from beef. Drain veggies, reserving marinade for basting.

On 8 metal or wooden soaked skewers, alternately thread beef and vegetables.

Using a long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill covered, over medium heat 10-15 minutes or until meat reaches desired doneness, basting frequently with reserved marinade and turning occasionally.
