This is fun to make especially during the summertime. We don't have a patio or anything to grill on, but cooking these on the Cuisinart grill was almost as satisfying. Like most of the recipes I put on this blog, you can really personalize it using your own tastes and favorites. My recipe is with beef but you can obviously do this with chicken and even fish.

Ingredients (how simple!)
-1 lb or less of meat rounds (beef). This way they are already cut for you.
-Fresh veggies. We used onions; red, yellow and green bell peppers; and mushrooms.

First, rinse the meat rounds under tap water and place and dry on a paper towel covered dish. Choose a marinade that you like. We used Peter Luger's steak sauce which, if you can order it or buy some, I highly suggest you do. You really should get to their Steak House Restaurant before you die.

Cut up the veggies into pieces closely matching the size of the steak. If the steak pieces are too big chop them down a little bit. This will cut down on cooking time. Remember you will be cooking the edges first and the inside of the meat will be cooking last.

If you are using wooden skewers soak them in water for a few minutes before piercing the meat and veggies. This will prevent it from burning. If you really want your veggies well cooked I would cook them on the stove in some oil before placing them on the skewers. This will guarantee they are nice and soft.

Cook on the grill turning occasionally until the meat is how you like it (we usually do medium).

Enjoy!
