Beef and Veggie Skewers

My sister and her family were over for dinner one night and she had the idea of making beef skewers. So she got all the things for this dish and asked me to find a marinade for said dish. I threw a few ideas at her until we came to one we liked. Unfortunately, I didn't have all the things needed so, I improvised!



* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 1/2 cup soy sauce
* 1/4 cup water
* 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
* 2 tablespoons dry mustard
* 2 1/4 teaspoons salt
* 1 teaspoon coarse black pepper
* 1/2 cup wine vinegar
* 1 1/2 teaspoons dried parsley
* 2 garlic cloves, crushed
* 1/3 cup lemon juice
* 1 tablespoon of brown sugar

* 3 lbs top round beef, cut into large cubes (or sirloin steaks, cubed)
* 1 green bell pepper (seeded and cut into large squares)
* 1 red bell pepper (seeded and cut into large squares)
* 1 yellow bell pepper (seeded and cut into large squares)
* Pearl onions, peeled
* Whole button mushrooms (cleaned and stems trimmed)
* Wooden skewers

Directions:
1) Soak wooden skewers in water first thing up until you are almost ready for grilling!

2) Mix all of the marinade ingredients and set aside.

3) Once meat and vegetables are cleaned, trimmed, and cut, add to the marinade. Let this sit for at least an hour, the longer it sits the more it will absorb the flavors from the marinade.

4) Assemble skewers according to your preference, I think its best to start and finish with a cube of meat. I think that it helps things from falling off the skewer.

5) Place on a hot grill and cook until the meat is medium rare to medium.
