Whatcha' Cookin' Wednesday - "Fiery Beef Satay Skewers"

Let's start out the new year with BEEF. Easy, quick, yummy. A great appetizer OR dinner.

Fiery Beef Satay Skewers

1-1/2 pounds boneless beef sirloin steak -- cut 1/4" thick
5 green onions -- white part only-- cut into 1-inch pieces

***marinade***
1/2 cup Dijon-style mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoon fresh lime juice
4 teaspoons bottle minced or fresh crushed garlic
1 tablespoon ground red pepper

In large shallow bowl, combine marinade ingredients; whisk until blended. Remove and reserve 1/2 cup for basting. Trim fat from beef steak; cut into 1-1/2-inch cubes. Add beef to remaining marinade in bowl; toss to coat. Cover and marinate in refrigerator 20 minutes. Remove beef from marinade; discard marinade. Alternately thread an equal amount of beef and green onion pieces onto each of four 12-inch metal skewers. Place skewers on grid over medium, ash-covered coals. Grill, uncovered, 10 to 12 minutes for medium rare to medium doneness, basting frequently with reserved 1/2 cup marinade and turning occasionally. Serve immediately.
