Kabobs are a great meal for prepping in advance and grilling on a busy night. These colorful beef and vegetable kabobs are seasoned with our soy garlic beef marinade and served over yellow rice for a burst of flavor. We are serving this with grilled asparagus since we already had the grill fired up.

The marinade ingredients are basics: soy sauce, red wine vinegar, ketchup, brown sugar, garlic salt, and olive oil. Just combine the marinade ingredients and allow the beef to marinate at least 6 hours before assembling kabobs as seen below. I try to use the largest whole mushrooms that I can find and remove the stems so that they don't split when I put them on the skewers.

Preheat your grill to about 350ºF and grill until the beef is done to your preference.

Serve with yellow rice.

Notes

The nutrition data assumes that only half of the marinade will be absorbed and the rest will be discarded.

If you want to marinate the vegetables, you can double the marinade recipe and divide it in half. About 15 minutes prior to grilling, marinate the vegetables since they don't take long to absorb the flavors of the marinade.

When choosing mushrooms, look for large whole mushrooms so that they are less likely to split when you put them on the skewers.
