A sure sign of Spring??? Chris brought the grill out of the crawlspace under our family room. If you would have asked me a few weeks ago when the pile of snow in front of the crawl space door would have been melted, I would have told you June. Mother Nature has been a bit kinder in the last few weeks and it's been almost like spring should be. Yesterday was even a bit summer like. Right now the weather is in a bit of flux...I know, shocking in Chicago, right? At any rate, I think we're going to get a little wet snow tomorrow...don't worry though, the only constant in Chicago's weather is its changeability. This will be a great recipe for grilling season.
2 C. tomato juice
1/2 C. butter
1/4 C. finely chopped onion
1/3 C. ketchup
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot sauce
2lbs beef sirloin, cut into 1 inch cubes
1/2lb. fresh mushrooms, stems removed
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 large onion, quartered
1 large green bell pepper, cut into 1 inch pieces
skewers
In a saucepan over low heat, mix the tomato juice, butter, onion, ketchup, mustard, salt, paprika, pepper, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce. Simmer for 30 minutes, remove from heat, and allow to cool.
Preheat grill for medium heat.
Thread the sirloin cubes, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, onion quarters, and green pepper pieces onto skewers, alternating as desired. Drizzle some of the sauce over the kabobs.
Oil the grill grate. Arrange the kabobs on the grill. Grill 10 minutes, or until meat is cooked through, occasionally turning kabobs. Baste with sauce during the last 5 minutes.
