Description

These skewers are quick and easy to make and taste terrific. With tender top sirloin, you don't need to marinate a long time to tenderize the meat, just long enough to impart the flavors of the citrus and garlic marinade. Serve over rice.

Ingredients

1 cup margarita mix
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 pound top sirloin steak, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes
8 metal skewers, or bamboo skewers soaked in water for 30 minutes
16 mushrooms, stems trimmed
1 onion, cut into 1-inch chunks
1 large red or green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces

Directions

1 Combine margarita mix, salt, sugar, garlic, and vegetable oil in a bowl or resealable plastic bag. Toss sirloin cubes in marinade and marinate at least 30 minutes.
2 Preheat a grill for medium heat.
3 Assemble skewers, alternating meat with mushrooms, onion, and bell pepper. Brush skewers with marinade, then discard the remaining marinade. Grill skewers to desired doneness, about 10 minutes total for medium.
