Recipe: dijon-wine steak kabobs

Ingredients

• 1 pound boneless beef round tip steak, cut 1 inch thick
• 1/2 small red onion, cut into 3/4 inch thick wedges
• 1 small yellow squash, cut lengthwise in half, then crosswise into 1-inch thick slides
• 1 small red or green bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
• DIJON-WINE MARINADE
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons coarse-grain Dijon-style mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon coarse grind black pepper
• MUSHROOM WILD RICE
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
• 2 cups thinly sliced assorted wild wild mushrooms (oyster, cremini and shittake)
• 1 package (6 oz) long grain and wild rice blend

Directions

Cut beef steak into 1-1/4-inch pieces. Combine marinade ingredients in small bowl. Place beef and marinade in food-safe plastic bag; turn to coat. Close bag securely and marinate in refrigerator 6 hours or as long as overnight, turning occasionally.

Soak eight 9-inch bamboo skewers in water 10 minutes; drain. Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. Alternately thread beef, onion, squash and bell pepper evenly onto skewers. Place kabobs on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, covered, 8 to 10 minutes (over medium heat on preheated gas grill, 9 to 11 minutes) for medium rare (145°F) to medium (160°F) doneness, turning occasionally.

Serve kabobs over Mushroom Wild Rice.

Mushroom Wild Rice: Heat 2 teaspoons oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add 2 cups thinly sliced assorted wild mushrooms (oyster, cremini and shiitake); cook and stir until tender. Remove and keep warm. Meanwhile, cook 1 package (6 ounces) long grain and wild rice blend according to package directions, omitting salt and butter. When rice is done, stir in mushrooms.
