Easy, Quick, Healthy Recipes from Kraft

Giving these a try on the BBQ from www.Kraft.com - Caramelized Beef Skewers and Easy “Baked” Tomatoes.  The tomatoe recipe should come in handy when the garden is ready to be picked!

Caramelized Beef Skewers       

1 lb. (450 g) beef sirloin steak, thinly sliced

1/4 cup  KRAFT SIGNATURE Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing, divided

1/4 cup KRAFT BarBQ Sauce

  1. TOSS steak with 2 Tbsp. of the dressing; let stand 10 min. to marinate. Meanwhile, combine remaining 2 Tbsp. dressing, the barbecue sauce and mustard; set aside.
  2. PREHEAT barbecue to medium-high heat. Thread steak onto eight long metal or soaked wooden skewers.
  3. GRILL skewers 6 min. or until steak is cooked through, turning after 3 min. and brushing generously with the barbecue sauce mixture.

Serving Suggestion: Serve with hot cooked rice and a tossed green salad.

Make Ahead: Toss steak with dressing as directed; cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours before grilling as directed.

 How to Prevent Wooden Skewers from Burning: Soak skewers in water for 30 min. before threading on meat.
