Pineapple Sirloin Skewers...

1 8oz. can pineapple chunks
6 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. brown sugar
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. minced garlic
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 lb. boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into 1-inch cubes

Drain pineapple, reserving juice. Refrigerate the pineapple. In a small bowl, combine the pineapple juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, oil, ginger, garlic and pepper. Reserve 1/3 cup marinade for basting and 1/3 cup for serving; cover and refrigerate.

Pour the remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add beef cubes. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and discard marinade from beef. On metal or soaked wooden skewers. alternately thread beef and pineapple chunks. Grill, uncovered, over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side or broil 4 to 6 inches from the heat until beef reaches desired doneness, basting frequently with one portion of reserved marinade. Serve with remaining marinade.

Suggestions: Add whatever extra veggies you'd like to the skewers.
