Citrus Beef Skewers

With summer quickly approaching, I have been searching for recipes for Chad to test out on the grill each weekend. When our CSA included grapefruit, cherry tomatoes, and bell peppers, it seemed the perfect time to try these Citrus Beef Skewers out. The marinade includes olive oil, white wine, garlic, grapefruit juice, and thyme. I loved this combination of flavors, especially paired with the grilled vegetables.

Evan enjoyed the meat, but wouldn’t really eat the vegetables. He kept going for the bell peppers, but didn’t like the taste. He just had fun squishing the tomatoes.

Grill, turning once, until cooked to desired internal temperature, about 10 minutes.
