Beef and Veggies on a Stick

Cubes of lean beef, marinated in a Caesar salad dressing are threaded on skewers with whole mushrooms, bell pepper, onion and zucchini and grilled to perfection.

Recipe Ingredients:

1 pound lean beef, cubed
1 (16-ounce) bottle Caesar salad dressing
16 whole mushrooms
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into chunks
1 red onion, peeled and cut into chunks
1 medium zucchini, cut into chunks
Cooked rice for accompaniment

Cooking Directions:

1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat.
2. Reserve 1/2 cup of the Caesar dressing for use later.
3. Place beef in a resealable plastic bag and add remaining salad dressing. Seal and place in refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hour or overnight.
4. Remove beef from bag and discard dressing.
5. Thread beef, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion and zucchini onto skewers*.
6. Brush skewers with reserved dressing.
7. Place skewers on grill and cook about 4 minutes per side or until beef is cooked to your preference, brushing once or twice with the reserved dressing during the cooking period.
8. Remove from grill and let sit until skewers are cool enough to handle (if using metal skewers), about 5 minutes. Serve with rice, if desired.

Makes 4 servings.

*If using wooden skewers, soak them in water 15 minutes before using.

Tip: These are also great broiled for about 5 minutes per side.
