About

Both delicious and decorative, we’ve entwined each skewer with a sprig of rosemary, wrapping and tucking it between the beef, mushrooms, and peppers. Use 6-inch, wooden or bamboo cocktail skewers, which are light and easy to manage.

Method

In a medium-size bowl, stir all the marinade ingredients together. Add the cubed beef and the mushrooms; toss to coat, and let stand, loosely covered, at room temperature, for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
