Grilled Shishkabobs

I found the following marinade recipe in the magazine Simple & Delicious (one of my favorite cooking magazines). As for the rest, it is just what I recommend for the kabob's. Feel free to try new combinations, or a family favorite. Share any ideas you might have to make this recipe better!

1 c. Ketchup
1/3 c. French Salad Dressing
1/3 c. Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 lb. Boneless Beef Sirloin, cut into small cubes
Carrots
Fresh Mushrooms
Red Potatoes
Vidalia Onion
Red and Green Pepper

Combine the ketchup, dressing, soy sauce, and worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Pour 2/3 into a resealable plastic bag, and reserve the remaining marinade for dipping. Add the Sirloin to the bag. Turn to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour (We prefer several hours)

When ready to grill, cut up vegetables into small cubes. Place carrots in a bowl with a small amount of water and microwave for 4-5 minutes to slightly soften. If using potatoes, pre-cook in the microwave for 4-5 minutes as well.

Place all ingredients on skewers, alternating each item.

Grill over medium-hot heat for 18-20 minutes, or until the meat reaches desired temperature. Baste with extra marinade while grilling.

Serve with hot rice.

Note: If you do not precook firm ingredients such as potatoes and carrots, they will not achieve a desired softness on the grill.
