Dear, Old Dad


The cold weather is finally behind us - it’s time to get outside and take advantage of the warmer weather grilling season as much as possible! What better way to start than by honouring dear, old dad?

 
To celebrate Father’s day, why not whip up a meal fit for any grill master in your life? Colourful and flavour-packed steak and veggie kebabs will satisfy the meat lovers as well as providing all the benefits of colourful vegetables.

This is a dish is sure to become a family favourite and used a lot during the summer – it’s convenient, healthy and easy…oh and did we mention that it’s really good?!

 
Here’s what you’ll need:

      Skewers (We suggest using the metal kind but if you use 
      bamboo as we did, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes
      before loading them up so they don’t burn!)
     • 1 lb steak - such as lean sirloin - cut into 2″ pieces
       Chunks of yellow peppers
       Cherry or grape tomatoes
        Chunks of zucchini
     • Chunks of mushrooms or whole button mushrooms

 

 For the marinade:

 • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
 •  2 Tablespoons soy sauce
 1/4 teaspoon salt
 • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
 • 1/4 teaspoon dried coriander
 • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
 • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
 • 1 clove garlic, minced

  
Directions:

Note: If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes




1. Cut all the veggies into chunks – place together in a large bowl.

2. Cut the steak into 1.5″ – 2″ chunks – keep meat in a separate bowl.

3. Mix the marinade ingredients together.

4. Pour half the marinade over the veggies and the other half over the meat. Allow the veggies and meat to marinade for up at LEAST 20 minutes and up to 8 hours (cover and refrigerate).

5. Start skewering the veggies and meat in whatever taste and colour pattern you prefer.

6. Grill for 10 minutes – turning on occasion – or until meat is cooked through. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Serve and enjoy!
