Ingredients

  • 1 lb. beef tenderloin or top sirloin, cut into 1 ½ inch cubes
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano or ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 sweet onion
  • 8 cherry or grape tomatoes
  • 2 sweet bell peppers (any color), seeded and cut into 1 ½-inch squares
  • 8 ounces fresh white mushrooms, stems removed

Instructions

  • Cut onion in half. Grate half of the onion and combine in a measuring cup with oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, mustard, thyme, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Cut the other half of the onion into 1 ½-inch squares. Set aside.
  • Place the beef cubes in a large zip-top plastic bag. Pour ½ of the marinade into the bag, seal, and refrigerate. Marinate beef for at least one hour, or up to overnight.
  • Set aside the remaining marinade to use for basting later.
  • When ready to prepare the kabobs, remove beef cubes from the marinade. Discard marinade in the bag.
  • Thread beef and vegetables onto separate skewers (if using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water first).
  • Brush vegetable skewers with reserved marinade.
  • Broil kabobs 3 inches from heat for 8 minutes. Turn and broil an additional 8 – 10 minutes, or until done. Keep an eye on the vegetables – the tomatoes tend to cook a bit faster, while the peppers and onions may need an extra minute of cooking time. Just remove each skewer from the broiler (or grill) when cooked to desired tenderness.
  • Alternatively, you can grill the shish kabobs for about 20 minutes, turning regularly.
