    Though we have done kebabs many times before, I thought about doing something different to possibly improve on it. So I decided to marinate the beef chunks overnight, similar to kalbi (Korean short ribs), and surprisingly it did wonders for the flavor and texture. It brought out a tangy and sweet taste, while also tenderizing the beef chunks in the process. Another variation is skipping the use of the oven and pan-frying these guys. From past experiences, baking or broiling in the oven rarely cooked all the ingredients at the same time; either having bloody beef chunks still uncooked inside or the opposite, charred and burnt vegetables or fruits. Thus, the beef chunks got pan-fried first until lightly browned (but not burnt) and set aside to cool. Then the rest is easy pickings, adding preferred ingredients to your skewers and then browning on a non-stick pan or skillet. I did make another glaze/sauce (we love our sauces) working around the pineapple juice from the can which added some more sweetness to the kebabs. This step is optional but I recommend it.

    Ingredients

    • •1 lb. beef tenderloin chunks (we used leftover black angus beef chuck roast)
    • •1/2 red bell pepper, cut into squares
    • •1/2 yellow bell pepper, cut into squares
    • •10 cherry tomatoes
    • •3 green onions, cut into 2 inch pieces

    • •16 wooden skewers (soaking not necessary)
    • Marinade:
    • •2 tbsp soy sauce
    • •1 tbsp brown sugar
    • •2 garlic cloves, finely minced (or garlic powder)
    • •1 tsp ginger finely minced
    • •1 tbsp pineapple juice (optional)
    • Glaze:
    • •2 tbsp pineapple juice
    • •2 tbsp soy sauce
    • •1/2 tsp sesame oil
    • •sprinkle in ground pepper, paprika, & garlic powder

    Directions

    1. 1.Cut meat into desired chunks or cubes. Mix beef with marinade ingredients and keep overnight in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before cooking.
    2. 2.Meanwhile, cut all vegetables and fruits into chunks and set aside.
    3. 3.In a non-stick pan, fry the beef chunks on medium-high heat until browned. Set aside to cool.
