Ingredients:
– 1 1/2 pounds of beef sirloin, cut into 1-inch cubes
– 1 cup of pineapple chunks
– 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
– 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
– 1 red onion, cut into chunks
– 1/2 cup of soy sauce
– 1/4 cup of brown sugar
– 2 cloves of garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon of ginger, grated
– Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions:
1. In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, and ginger to create the marinade.
2. Place the beef cubes in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the beef, making sure each piece is well coated. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor.
3. If you’re using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
4. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
5. Assemble your kabobs by alternating pieces of marinated beef, pineapple chunks, bell peppers, and red onion on the skewers. Be sure to leave a little space between each ingredient to ensure even cooking.
6. Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness and the vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
7. Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
8. Serve the Aloha Beef Kabobs hot off the grill, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro or a squeeze of fresh lime juice for an extra burst of flavor.
These Aloha Beef Kabobs are not only delicious but also a fun and interactive dish to serve at your next outdoor gathering. The sweetness of the pineapple pairs perfectly with the savory beef and colorful veggies, creating a delightful flavor combination that will transport your taste buds to a tropical paradise. So fire up the grill, gather your loved ones, and enjoy a taste of aloha right in your own backyard!
