Meat ‘n Potato Kabobs

They’re summery, but these kabobs really stick to your ribs. A microwave makes quick work of cooking the potatoes, so grilling is done in a flash.

1 pound beef top sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

1-1/2 teaspoons steak seasoning, divided

1 garlic clove, minced

1 cup cola

3 Summertime Potato Baby Red Potatoes (about 8 ounces), cubed

1 tablespoon water

1 cup cherry tomatoes

1 medium sweet orange pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces

1 teaspoon canola oil

1 cup pineapple chunks

Sprinkle beef with 1 teaspoon steak seasoning and garlic. Place cola in a large bowl. Add beef; toss to coat. Set aside.

Place potatoes and water in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave, covered, on high for 4-5 minutes or just until tender; drain. Return to bowl. Add tomatoes, pepper, oil and remaining steak seasoning; gently toss to coat.

Drain beef, discarding marinade. On eight metal or soaked wooden skewers, alternately thread beef, vegetables and pineapple. Grill, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from heat 6-8 minutes or until beef reaches desired doneness and pepper is crisp-tender, turning occasionally.
