Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the steak into 1-inch pieces.
- Whisk together vegetable oil, lemon juice, water, Dijon mustard, honey, dried oregano leaves, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add chicken, bell pepper, and mushrooms to the bowl, stirring to coat evenly.
- Alternately thread the ingredients onto four 12-inch skewers.
- Place the skewers on a rack in a broiler pan so that the surface of the meat is 3 to 4 inches from the heat source.
- Broil for 9 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.
- Season with salt if desired before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, marinate the steak or chicken in the mixture for a few hours or overnight. If you don’t have Dijon mustard, you can substitute with yellow mustard. Feel free to mix in other vegetables like zucchini or cherry tomatoes for variety. Make sure to soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning.
Serving Suggestions
These skewers are perfect served with a side of rice or a fresh salad for a light meal. They pair beautifully with Chicken With Mushrooms for a delightful dinner spread. Offering a dipping sauce, such as a garlic yogurt or a sweet chili sauce, can enhance the flavor experience. Don't forget to garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color.
