COOK TIME: 12 Min

Squash, onion, and mushrooms are what make these Beef Vegetable Kabobs the best! With these favorites, we can't go wrong.

What You'll Need

1 1/2 pound beef tenderloin steaks or boneless top sirloin
3/4 cup red wine vinaigrette, divided
12 medium-size fresh mushrooms
6 medium jalapeno peppers
2 medium-size yellow squash, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium-size red onion, cut into 12 wedges
1/4 cup hot jalapeno jelly

What to Do

Cut steak into 1-1/2-inch pieces. Place steak in a heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Add 1/2 cup vinaigrette. Seal bag; shake until steak is coated. Marinate in refrigerator 30 minutes, turning bag once. Remove steak from marinade; discard marinade. Thread steak and vegetables alternately onto 6 (15-inch) metal or wooden skewers (see note).
Preheat the grill. Combine remaining 1/4 cup vinaigrette and the jelly in a small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until jelly melts.
Grill kabobs, covered, over medium-high heat (350 degrees to 400 degrees) 6 minutes on each side or until steak reaches desired degree of doneness, basting often with jelly mixture.

Notes

Some like it hot? and some don't! For timid taste buds, use 1 small green bell pepper cut into1-inch pieces instead of 6 whole jalapenos. Serve with yellow rice for a colorful and filling dinner. If you use wooden skewers, remember to soak them in warm water for 10 to 15 minutes before threading the steak and veggies!
