Recipe Share: Steak Kabobs

I've been craving steak folks. It's truly one of my favorite things to eat. This recipe from Joseph "Rev Run" Simmons, was one that definitely hit the spot. It cooked up fast, and the steak was tender and flavorful. The veggies and pineapple tasted great with it, too. (Next time I'll use fresh pineapple and grill that as well. This time I used canned pineapple and was afraid it would fall apart on the grill. It was still delicious though.)

Sauce:
1/4 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
1/2 tablespoon onion powder
Fresh cracked black pepper

Kabobs:
2 pounds beef tenderloin, cut into 1 1/2-inch cubes (I used top sirloin)
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 pineapple, cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
1/2 red onion, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
1 orange or yellow bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
           

Directions:

For the sauce: In a bowl, combine the BBQ sauce, lime juice, Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder and some pepper. Mix well, and reserve.
For the kebabs: Prepare a grill for high-heat direct grilling. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes.Sprinkle the beef with salt and pepper. Thread the beef, pineapple, red onion and bell peppers onto the skewers, alternating between ingredients. Set the kabobs on a baking sheet, drizzle with the canola oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. (I've learned over the years that I prefer to thread all the same ingredients on my skewers. For example, I thread all my steak together on the same skewers, I thread all my peppers together, and all my onions together, etc. That way, if each ingredient takes different amounts of time to cook, I'm not trying to pull off my veggies from my skewers while leaving the steak on them. And I also don't like my raw meat touching my veggies, but that's a personal issue of mine. It's all up to you. Some must have better luck getting same grill times on their various foods than I do. And it really does look pretty to serve up skewers of colorful foods together. I just pull mine off the skewers to serve.)
Place the kabobs on the grill and brush with sauce. Cook for about 10 minutes, rotating the skewers halfway through, and brushing them with sauce. Remove from the grill and serve. (I served mine over steamed rice.)

Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends.  I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of ...

Father's Day Gift Ideas.

Father's Day is coming up!  We love our Jason, and we like to surprise him with special gifts.  I wanted to share a few things my kids and I have loved doing for Jason. These Pinhole Press board books are so adorable and easy to do. The kids love looking at them, and Jase cried when he first saw them. They made his day! Making a slideshow for your special guy is also a great idea! We made one for Jason a few years ago, and it was so special and fun. There are many different sites you can use to do that. One that I've used recently is Smile box . It does cost money to use, so be aware of that. You can also use free sites or simply make one using google slides or iMovie. Etsy has some great gifts for Dads.  Look at this awesome tee set for a Dad and child. So cute! I love this modern watch/jewelry stand . So manly and clean looking. This docking station is equally awesome. For the Dad who enjoys cooking, you could get him one of these personalized cutting boards . Love ...
