(1)

Lemons develop a mellow smokiness and even grow a little sweet after a few minutes on the grill. Squeeze them over the finished steak and veggies for a final touch.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless beef sirloin, cut into 16 1 1/2-inch cubes

  • 1 medium zucchini (about 8 ounces), cut into 16 3/4-inch thick slices

  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1/2-inch thick wedges

  • 2 lemons, cut into 4 wedges each

  • 1 tablespoon canola oil

  • Salt and ground black pepper

  • ½ cup mayonnaise

  • ¼ cup sour cream

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard or coarse grain mustard

  • 1 ½ teaspoon snipped fresh tarragon leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

Directions

  1. On eight 10-inch skewers, alternately thread beef, zucchini, and red onion, piercing zucchini through the skin and leaving 1/4-inch between pieces. Add lemon wedges to ends of skewers. Brush all pieces with oil and season with salt and pepper.

  2. For a gas or charcoal grill, place skewers on a grill rack directly over medium heat. Cover and grill 10 to 12 minutes minutes or until desired doneness, turning once.

  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, garlic, and tarragon. Serve sauce with skewers, squeezing grilled lemon wedges over all.
