Grilled Steak & Vegetable Kabobs

1 lean - 3 greens - 0 healthy fats - 3 condiments (per serving)

4 servings
Ingredients:
• 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
• 1½ lbs. beef tenderloin, cut into 16 equal-sized cubes
• ¼ tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp fresh oregano, minced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 16 grape tomatoes
• 8 mushrooms, halved
• ¼ tsp salt
• 1 medium yellow squash, sliced into 16 equal-sized rounds
• 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 16 equal-sized rounds

Directions:

1. Pre-heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

2. Season cubed beef with salt and pepper.

3. Using 8 skewers, alternate beef, zucchini, squash, mushrooms, and tomatoes so that each skewer has 2 of each ingredient.

4. Spray kebobs with non-stick spray and grill for about 3 minutes per side or until beef is cooked to desired doneness (note: for medium-rare, cook the beef to an internal temperature of 125°F; for medium to 135°F; for medium-well to 145°F; for well-done to 160°F).

5. Meanwhile, combine the garlic, oregano, and vinegar to make a vinaigrette.

6. Per serving: 2 skewers with about a ½ tablespoon of vinaigrette poured over top.

Tip: Try tofu in place of the beef for a plant-based meal. Substitute 2¼ lbs. Nasoya firm tofu (drained and cut into 16 equal-sized cubes) for the beef tenderloin.
