Sirloin is one of the best steaks for kabobs. It's fairly lean and can be easily cut in to cubes. Tenderize the steak in a simple marinade that uses ingredients you may have. Time-saving, grill-ready kabobs are also available at Hy-Vee.

Sirloin Steak and Vegetable Kabobs with Quinoa Salad

Place beef pieces in a large resealable plastic bag placed in a shallow dish; set aside. Place bell peppers and red onion in another large resealable plastic bag placed in a shallow dish; set aside.

For marinade, in a medium bowl whisk together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano, thyme, salt and black pepper. Divide marinade between beef and vegetables in bags. Seal bags and marinate in the refrigerator for 1 hour, turning bags occasionally.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine cooked quinoa, tomatoes, green onions and orange zest and juice. Cover and chill until serving time.

Prepare a charcoal or gas grill with greased grill rack for direct grilling over medium-high heat. Thread peppers and onion onto 4 skewers, leaving a 1/4-inch space between each piece so the vegetables grill evenly. Thread meat onto remaining 4 skewers.

If using bamboo skewers, soak skewers in water for 30 minutes before using.

Grill for 15 to 18 minutes or until steak reaches desired doneness and vegetables are tender and slightly charred. Remove skewers from grill and serve immediately with quinoa salad.Remove skewers from grill and serve immediately with quinoa salad.
