Beef Skewers

Description: While looking for iron-rich ideas I came across this recipe in the local newspaper and thought it would be good served with a tossed salad.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon coriander
• 1/4 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon gingerroot, grated
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/2 lbs boneless beef roast, cut into 3-4-inch cubes
• 1 green pepper, cut into 3-inch pieces
• 1 onion, cut into 3-inch pieces

Steps:

1. In a small bowl or marinating dish combine all ingredients except for the beef, stirring until sugar dissolves. Add meat to marinade and stir to cover all the beef. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
2. Preheat grill.
3. Soak wooden skewers at least 30 minutes.
4. Thread cubes alternating the beef with the green pepper and onion pieces.
5. Grill skewers for 8-10 minutes or until done, turning often.
