Sensational Sirloin Kabobs

I've made 3 different marinated kabobs this summer and this one was by far the best! I used zucchini instead of tomatoes which was so yummy! TIP: my mom taught me to soak the skewers in water for at least 30 min and they wont burn and break!
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 TBS light brown sugar
3 TBS distilled white vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp garlic pepper seasoning
4 fluid oz Sprite (or any lemon-lime carbonated drink)
2 lbs beef sirloin
2 green peppers (I like red and yellow instead) cut into 1 inch chunks
1/2 lbs fresh mushrooms, stems removed
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 fresh pinapple, peeled, cored cubed
skewers
-In a medium bowl, mix soy sauce, brown sugar, distilled white vinegar, garlic powder, seasoned salt, garlic pepper seasoning and Sprite. Reserve about 1/2 cup of marinade for basting. Place beef in a large resealable plastic bag. Cover with marinade and seal shut. Refridgerate 8 hours or overnight.
-Boil a pan of water. Add peppers and cook just 1 min to blanch. Set aside.
-Preheat grill for high heat. Thread beef, veggies and pinapple on skewers. Discard marinade and bag.
-Lightly oil the grill grate. Cook kabobs for 1o minutes or until desired doneness. Baste frequently during the last 5 minutes with reserved marinade.
Enjoy!!

Beef Stroganoff

This was soo good tonight! Even my 16 month old was loving it and ate it all gone!
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 1/2 cup beef broth, divided
2 TBS ketchup
1 tsp salt
1 small clove garlic, minced
3 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
Hot cooked noodles or rice
-Brown beef.
-Reserve 1/3 cup of the broth. Stir remaining broth, ketchup, salt and garlic into beef. Heat to boiling, reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 10 min.
-Stir in mushrooms and onion. Heat to boiling and reduce heat. Cover and simmer 5 min until onion is tender. (I skip this step, if you dont like onions/mushrooms just skip this!)
-In a tightly cover container, shake reserved 1/3 cup broth and flour until mixed. Gradually stir it into beef mixture. Heat to boiling, stiring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute, reduce heat to low.
-Stir in sour cream, heat until hot. Serve over noodles or rice.
*Really good with egg noodles! If you have a SLOW range like I do, boil the noodle water first! Then start the meat. They got done at exactly the same time!
