Taste of home


1 cup sugar
1 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 cup ketchup
2 teaspoons garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground ginger
2 pounds beef top sirloin steak, cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes
2 to 3 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch slices
1/2 pound medium fresh mushrooms
1 large green or sweet red pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 small onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups cubed fresh pineapple

Directions

For marinade, mix first five ingredients. Place beef and half of the marinade in a large resealable plastic bag; seal bag and turn to coat. Cover and reserve remaining marinade. Refrigerate beef and marinade overnight.

On metal or soaked wooden skewers, thread vegetables and, on separate skewers, thread beef with pineapple. Discard remaining marinade in bag. Grill, covered, over medium heat until vegetables are tender and beef reaches desired doneness, 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally.

• In a small saucepan, bring reserved marinade to a boil, stirring occasionally; cook 1 minute. Remove vegetables, pineapple and beef from skewers before serving. Serve with sauce.
