Taken from:  Quick Cooking magazine, Karen Hamlin

Marinate time:  overnight                           Prep + Cook:  20 min.

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

Directions:
1)  Drain pineapple, reserving juice.  Refrigerate pineapple.
2)  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.
3)  Pour the remaining marinage into a large resealable plastic bag; and beef cubes.  Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
4)  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 min on each side or boil 4-6 in from the heat until beef reches desired doneness, basting frequently with one portion of the reserved marinade.  Serve with remaining marinade.

"I like to add mushroom to the skewers and serve the yummy kabobs over hot cooked rice"
