Marinated Beef Kebabs w Vegetable Medley

Though we have done kebabs many times before, I thought about doing something different to possibly improve on it. So I decided to marinate the beef chunks overnight, similar to kalbi (Korean short ribs), and surprisingly it did wonders for the flavor and texture. It brought out a tangy and sweet taste, while also tenderizing the beef chunks in the process. Another variation is skipping the use of the oven and pan-frying these guys. From past experiences, baking or broiling in the oven rarely cooked all the ingredients at the same time; either having bloody beef chunks still uncooked inside or the opposite, charred and burnt vegetables or fruits. Thus, the beef chunks got pan-fried first until lightly browned (but not burnt) and set aside to cool. Then the rest is easy pickings, adding preferred ingredients to your skewers and then browning on a non-stick pan or skillet. I did make another glaze/sauce (we love our sauces) working around the pineapple juice from the can which added some more sweetness to the kebabs. This step is optional but I recommend it.
