Simple Beef Shish Kabobs Recipe

These bright kabobs are a grill-season classic – grilling brings out the sweetness of the onions and bell peppers and gives you a nice charred edge on the vegetables to go with the juicy pieces of steak. Use all different colors of bell peppers for an extra-colorful experience!

A quick mustard vinaigrette adds even more flavor, but this recipe is set up for the last-minute planners of the world:  you don’t have to actually let the meat sit in the marinade for any length of time.

Just combine and go; no need to wait around for an hour while the beef and the mustard get to know each other’s hopes and dreams.

If you want a little more vegetable matter here, you could double the vegetable ingredients and then either spread out the meat more on each skewer or make some extra skewers just for vegetables. (The second option is especially good if you’re also feeding any vegetarians).
