what's cooking wednesday - caramelized steak skewers

I think it's safe to say that we barbecue about 6 night out of 7 these days. We do this for a myriad of reasons, first we love it, but more importantly there is this huge vein in Mike's forehead that begins to bulge and often pulse whenever I attempt to use the stove in the summer. So barbecue I do, even though our barbecue has begun to rot out and both burners are cock-eyed, so there's a real learning curve when it comes to grilling anything that takes a little finesse. I came across this recipe and thought it would be easier to grill steak in smaller pieces. We did look at new barbecues tonight and we found a beautiful Char-Broil that we're really hoping the Barbecue Fairy leaves on our back deck.



Caramelized Steak Skewers

1 lb beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced
1/4 cup Kraft Balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing, divided
1/4 cup kraft BarBQ sauce
1 tsp dijon mustard

Toss steak with 2 tbsp of the dressing; let stand 10 minutes to marinate. Meanwhile, combine 2 tbsp dressing, the barbecue sauce and mustard, set aside.

Preheat barbecue to medium high heat. Thread steak onto 8 long soaked wooden or metal skewers.

Grill skewers 6 minutes or until steak is cooked through, turning after 3 minutes and brushing generously with the barbecue sauce mixture.

Recipe Notes: What can I say this was great as is. Nothing to change here.

Shan: 4/5
Mike: 3.5/5
Abby: Can I have pasta instead?
