Grilled Teriyaki Beef Kabobs

There’s nothing better than grilling in the summertime!  No stoves on to make the kitchen unbearable, and less dishes, too.  Plus somehow everything just tastes better when you eat it outdoors. These Grilled Teriyaki Beef Kabobs are an impressive dish to serve for company, but work just as well for a low-key meal for the family, or intimate dinner for two.

Teriyaki Beef Kabobs

Ingredients

  • 4 pounds boneless round steak cut into cubes
  • 2 large green peppers
  • 1 large vidalia onion
  • bamboo skewers soaked in water
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • olive oil for the grill
  • MARINADE:
  • 1-1/2 cups light brown sugar
  • 1 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 cup pineapple juice
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger chopped
  • 3 large garlic cloves chopped

Instructions

  • Whisk together the brown sugar, soy sauce, pineapple juice, water, vegetable oil, ginger and garlic in a large bowl.
  • In a resealable container, add the vegetables and 1/2 cup of the marinade mixture. Toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to assemble the kabobs.
  • Add the beef cubes to the remaining marinade and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Marinate beef in refrigerator for 4-24 hours. (The longer it marinates, the more flavorful it will be).
  • Remove beef from the marinade, shaking to remove any excess liquid. Discard marinade. Repeat with the vegetables.
  • Thread the meat and vegetables onto the skewers. Lightly salt and pepper if desired.
  • Preheat grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Cook the kabobs on preheated grill until the beef is cooked through, about 3 minutes per side to cook evenly. Remove from the heat and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
A little tip – whatever you do, don’t skip soaking the wooden skewers. This keeps them from burning while the food is cooking on the grill!
I love making this easy dish for my family. That teriyaki marinade comes together in just minutes. Now while I don’t care for the vegetables themselves, I love the flavor they add to the meat. My husband, aka Mr. Juggling Act, loves the veggies. He ends up with tons of them on his plate and is as happy as can be.  Leftovers, if there are any, never go to waste. This is great with a simple pasta salad, or in a roll for quick sandwich.

If this recipe is just for two, you can also divide this recipe in half and freeze a portion for another day. Bag the vegetables and marinade, and the beef and marinade in separate freezer bags. Place the two bags inside another freezer bag, label and seal. This will keep well for 2-3 months.  Allow the bags to thaw in the refrigerate overnight, which doubles as marinading time as well.

You can serve these Grilled Teriyaki Beef Kabobs on the stick, or take the meat and veggies off to serve it family style. Either way, it’s sure to be a big hit!

Salsa Pork Chops

July 16, 2015 by Nikki Cole

Salsa Pork Chops by Nikki Christiansen for Busy Mom's Helper

Need a quick dinner that’s sweet and savory?  These Salsa Pork Chops are quick to put together and make a delicious dinner for any salsa lovers (like me!).

Salsa Pork Chops by Nikki Christiansen for Busy Mom's HelperThese Salsa Pork Chops are great for dinner and mix well with different vegetables and mashed potatoes or baked potatoes.

Salsa Pork Chops

  • 6 pork chops
  • 1 jar Salsa (I use Pace Picante medium salsa but any salsa will work and you can choose mild, medium, or hot)
  • ½ cup maple syrup (see Homemade Maple syrup recipe)
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  1. The night before I get the pork chops ready by stabbing them a few times with a fork and then placing the pork chops and salsa in a bag and leave in the fridge.
  2. An hour before serving preheat the oven to 375 degrees
  3. In a 9 x 13 pan sprayed with cooking spray dump entire contents of the bag of pork chops in the pan and spread evenly. (this should be the pork chops and the salsa)
  4. In a separate bowl combine the cheese and maple syrup (can use whatever maple syrup, I prefer my homemade syrup, also can add more if you want a stronger flavor or like a lot of cheese or lessen if you desire)
  5. Spread the cheese and maple syrup mixture evenly over the pork chops
  6. Place the pan in the oven and cook for about 50 minutes.
  7. Let cool a couple minutes and serve! Tastes great with baked potatoes and green beans, can add mushrooms, cilantro, or different kinds of cheeses to the pork chops if you desire.
