With a grownup’s help trimming/slicing meat and safety around the grill, of course. After marinating cubed sirloin steak and vegetables (pieces of summer squash, red onion, mushrooms) separately, thread on separate metal or wood skewers since veges need about twice as long to cook as meat. Beef should take 6 – 8 min total, and veges should take about 14 – 16 min total. Serve immediately. Comment says “Dynamite! Can’t wait to make it again.”
