Land and sea kabobs
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sirloin steak, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
- 1 pound salmon fillets cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
- 1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 zucchini, cut into 1-inch-thick rounds, then halved
- 1 pint of cherry tomatoes
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Zest from 1 lemon, divided
- 1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons salt, plus more for seasoning
- 2 teaspoons ground black pepper, plus more for seasoning
Directions:
- Juice one lemon and use half the zest, and add it to a large, sealable plastic bag, along with one teaspoon salt and one teaspoon ground black pepper.
- Add the salmon pieces to the bag and place in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Add the balsamic vinegar, one teaspoon salt, and one teaspoon ground black pepper to a large, sealable plastic bag. Add the steak pieces to the bag and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- When the steak and salmon are finished marinating, thread the steak on two skewers, and the salmon on two skewers.
- Add the olive oil and remaining lemon zest to a bowl and add the vegetables. Toss to coat. Add the veggies to two skewers and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the salmon and steak over medium-high heat for 10 to 12 minutes, turning as you go, until they are done.
- The vegetables will take less time to cook. Put on the grill for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they begin to turn color and char slightly.
- Remove all ingredients from the skewers and serve some of each along with brown rice.
