Grilled Sirloin and Peach Skewers




Kebabs are perfect party fare. They’re portable and require no utensils to be enjoyed by your guests. These Grilled Sirloin and Peach Skewers are a nice change from the usual teriyaki kebabs and they can be prepared on large or small skewers, depending on the type of party you’re hosting.

The marinade of bottled steak sauce and peach butter or preserves is delicious. The peach flavor is further emphasized when fresh peach chunks are skewered along with the sirloin, red onion and red bell pepper.

You can marinate the sirloin overnight and prepare the skewers early in the day. Then, fire up the grill and cook the skewers when your guests arrive. Their enticing aroma is sure to whet everyone’s appetite.
