Quick Beef Kebabs with Pineapple

Ingredients:

• 0.5 cup hot honey
• 0.5 cups orange juice
• 2 tbsp. olive or other vegetable oil
• 1.5 tsp coarse salt
• 1 teaspoon red curry powder
• 0.5 tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 700 g beef tenderloin, cut into 2.5 cm pieces.
• 4 pineapple rings (canned or fresh), cut into 2.5 cm pieces.
• Yellow rice, for serving
• Special equipment: 8 metal or wooden skewers, 25 cm long.

Preparation:

1. In a medium bowl, combine honey, orange juice, olive oil, salt, red curry powder, and black pepper. Stir until the honey and oil are dissolved.
2. Set aside 1/4 cup of the marinade, then divide the remaining marinade between two zip-lock plastic bags. Place the beef in one bag and the pineapple in the other. Seal both bags and let sit at room temperature for 2 hours. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water while the beef and pineapple marinate.
3. Preheat grill to 200°C.
4. Remove the beef and pineapple pieces from the bags and pour out the marinade. Pat the meat and pineapple dry. Thread them onto skewers, alternating beef and pineapple, 3-4 pieces of each per skewer.
5. Place the skewers over direct heat and grill for 1-2 minutes per side. Brush the kebabs with the remaining marinade. Remove from the grill and serve with yellow rice.
