Grilled Skewered Beef

Description: Found online and posted for ZWT 7, South Pacific. The author claims this is of Japanese origin but has become a very popular Polynesian dish. Prep time includes marinating time. This says it makes 24 skewers, but I have difficulty believing that one pound of meat can go that far! Therefore, the number of servings here is a guess.

Ingredients:

• 1 (16 ounce) can pineapple chunks
• 1 lb sirloin beef, cut in slices
• 1/3 cup soya sauce
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 12 olives (specifies stuffed)
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

1. Drain the juice from the pineapple and mix with the soya sauce, garlic and ginger; add the beef and let it stand for 1 hour.
2. Place alternate pieces of beef and pineapple on wooden skewers and put an olive at the end of each skewer.
3. Grill, turning once, for 10-12 minutes.
