Mountain Dew Steak Kabobs

Summer is rolling around and that means grilling. Connor and I have a little gas grill (like this one) that we have used the heck out of. We love how easy it is to set-up, use, then clean up.

Theses shish-kabobs are AMAZING! I have come up with the greatest marinade for the steak and it has changed our life. Sometimes I can be dramatic, I know, but they really are that amazing. I know that Connor likes what I made when his eyes roll into his head and he sighs really deep. It's only happened on a few recipes, and this was one of them. 

Ingredients:

Marinade

1 can of Mountain Dew 

1/2 c. BBQ sauce - Our favorite is Sweet Baby Ray's

Kabobs: 

4 or 5 sirloin steaks 

1 red pepper 

1 green pepper

1 large onion

1 pineapple 

Cut the sirloin steaks into 2 inch pieces and marinate with the Mountain Dew and BBQ sauce for at least 3 hours. 

Remember to also soak the kabob sticks for at least an hour so the sticks don't burn on the grill. 

Chop the peppers, onions, and pineapple into 2 inch pieces that will be big enough for the shishkabobs.   

Assemble the steak, peppers, onions, and pineapple on the sticks. 

Grill until the meat is cooked and the veggies are soft, brushing with BBQ sauce occasioally. 

Serve with rice and voila!

I use a normal cookie sheet to soak the skewers in water 

Prepping the ingredients takes some time, but if you make an assembly line, it goes by faster

It's always hard to judge just how much meat to veggies you'll need but just make them how you like. I am not a fan of onions so there are a few kabobs with only one or two onions.

 I usually can make 5 to 6 kabobs with this recipe. 

 Connor is the grill master. 

Brush them with BBQ halfway through their cooking

Bad picture, great food. 

Yum!
