For beef kabobs, use eight ounces boneless beef sirloin steak cut into -inch cubes. Grill, covered, over medium-hot coals (350° to 400°) 5 to 6 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness, basting frequently. Ingredients:
1/2 pound venison tenderloin, cut into 1 1/4-inch cubes |
2 tablespoons dry red wine |
2 tablespoons canned no-salt-added beef broth, undiluted |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme |
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
1 teaspoon minced garlic |
1 teaspoon olive oil |
3/4 pound fresh beets (including greens) |
vegetable cooking spray |
2 teaspoons reduced-calorie margarine |
1/2 teaspoon salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. Place venison in a small heavy-duty, zip-top plastic bag. Combine wine and next 6 ingredients; pour over venison. Seal bag, and shake until meat is well coated. Marinate in refrigerator 2 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2. Trim stems and roots from beets; discard stems and roots, and reserve greens. Peel beets; cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Cook beets in boiling water to cover 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. Remove and discard stems from beet greens. Wash greens thoroughly, and pat dry with paper towels. Shred greens, and set aside.
3. Coat a large piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil with cooking spray. Place beets on one end of foil; top beets with margarine, and sprinkle evenly with lemon-pepper seasoning. Fold end of foil over beets; bring edges together. Fold edges over to seal; pleat and crimp edges of foil to make an airtight seal.
4. Drain venison, reserving marinade. Thread venison onto 2 (10-inch) skewers. Coat grill rack with cooking spray; place on grill over medium-hot coals (350° to 400°). Place beet packet on rack; grill, uncovered, 10 minutes or until packets are puffed and beets are tender. Place kabobs on rack; grill, covered, 4 to 5 minutes on each side or to desired degree of doneness, basting frequently with reserved marinade. Remove beets and kabobs from grill; set aside, and keep warm.
5. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add beet greens; saute 6 minutes or until greens are wilted. Stir in lemon juice.
6. Place greens evenly on serving plates; top each with a venison kabob. Serve with grilled beets.
