Ingredients:

  • 1 beef Sirloin Tip Steak, cut 1 inch thick (about 1 pound)
  • 1/2 small red onion, cut into 3/4-inch wedges
  • 1 small yellow squash, cut lengthwise in half then crosswise into 1 inch slices
  • 1 small red or green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • Mushroom Wild Rice (recipe follows)

  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons coarse-grain Dijon-style mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Cooking:

  1. Cut beef Sirloin Tip Steak into 1-1/4-inch pieces. Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.

  3. Serve kabobs over Mushroom Wild Rice.

    Mushroom Wild Rice: Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add 2 cups thinly sliced assorted wild mushrooms (oyster, cremini and shiitake); cook and stir until tender. Remove and keep warm. Meanwhile, cook 1 package (6 ounces) long grain and wild rice blend according to package directions, omitting salt and butter. When rice is done, stir in mushrooms.
