Hands down, one of our favorite meals is skewered beef and tomatoes with grilled onions over white rice. Add to that a side of cucumber salad and your taste buds will be jumping for joy.
Recipe for an Arabian Night
Prep Time 30 minutes (plus a few hours to soak meat in marinade*)
Cook Time 15 minutes
Serves 6
Ingredients:
1/2 cup ketchup
1 tsp salt
2 Tbs A-1 steak sauce
2 Tbs granulated sugar
2 Tbs cider vinegar
2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup water
2 Tbs olive oil
1 1/2 lbs boneless sirloin, cubed
6 Roma tomatoes, cut into large chunks seasoned lightly with salt & pepper
2 yellow onions, sliced into rings, seasoned with salt & pepper and olive oil
2 cups uncooked white rice
1 cucumber, peeled, quartered and then sliced
1 Tbs chopped onion
1 Tbs Olive Oil
2 Tbs White or Red Vinegar
salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
Boil marinade ingredients (first 8 ingredients) until sugar dissolves. Cool slightly and pour into gallon sized zip-lock containing cubed sirloin. Allow meat to soak for several hours.
(Freezer Tip: at this point, you can also freeze the meat. When ready to serve, remove from freezer and allow to soak as it defrosts)
Prepare cucumber salad (cucumber, onion, oil, vinegar and spices). Soak in refrigerator for at least 20 minutes.
On approximately 12 skewers, skewer meat together with tomatoes, beginning and ending each skewer with meat.
Prepare rice according to directions.
BBQ or broil skewers and sliced onions to desired doneness (about 10-15 minutes, rotating several times).
Serve immediately over hot rice with cool cucumber salad. And, most importantly. . . Enjoy!
**I found the marinade recipe in Don't Panic, Dinner's in the Freezer. So far, it is the best freezer-cooking cookbook I've found.

Yum! This looks really good. When are you inviting me over for dinner again?!
Arabian, yum. I've got Indian today over on Green Inventions. Do you like other cuisines too? What kind?
LL: We love anything with lots of flavor! I jokingly say that that I can make any meal taste good as long as I have salt, garlic and cayenne pepper. This recipe is not one of our spicy ones, but it is flavorful, especially with the seasoned grilled onions.
Y: How about tonight?!
Can I come over for dinner too?? :o)
