Time 3h15m

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup soy sauce
½ cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup pineapple juice + 1/2 cup pineapple juice (divided)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons dry sherry
4 medium cloves garlic (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root (about one thumb-sized hunk)
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1/2 pound white button mushrooms (wiped clean with a damp paper towel)
1 small green bell pepper
1 small red bell pepper
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks (about half a small pineapple)
1 medium sweet onion (cut into large wedges (cut in half, then quarters, then eighths))
Cooked rice to serve alongside (if desired)
1 Field Roast "sausage" link (I like the smoked apple sage flavor for this recipe, cut into 1-inch slices)
1/2 pound petite sirloin (cut into 1-inch square chunks)
1 sausage of your choice (my guy likes Aidell's pineapple bacon chicken sausage, cut into 1-inch slices)
12 12- inch wood/bamboo skewers
Outdoor bbq or grill pan

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, vegetable oil, 1/4 cup pineapple juice, brown sugar, sherry, garlic, ginger, and dry mustard until blended. Reserve 1 1/2 cups for basting and marinating.
  • Place the remaining marinade in a small saucepan. Add 1/2 cup pineapple juice and heat over medium heat, uncovered, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Stir cornstarch and water together in a small bowl. As soon as it comes to a boil, whisk in cornstarch and water, stirring constantly until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool, then refrigerate in a sealed container until ready to serve.
  • Place cut-up steak in a quart-size or larger zip bag. Pour 1/2 cup of marinade over the steak and seal well, swishing the meat and marinade to help ensure even coverage. Place in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours (up to 12 hours).
  • Soak the skewers. Fill a long baking dish about 1/3 full with water and lay skewers in the water. Allow to soak for about 15 minutes. This helps prevent the skewers from burning once on the grill.
  • Carefully thread veggies, pineapple, and Field Roast or meat onto skewers in whatever order you like. I like to use bell peppers on the ends because they help keep everything on.
  • Heat your grill to about 350 - 375 degrees (medium direct heat). Place shish kabobs on grill. Baste with the reserved marinade (segregating portions for meat/non-meat kabobs if desired). Cook, turning occasionally to help ensure even cooking and continuing to baste occasionally, for about 15 minutes until vegetables are tender and meat is cooked through.
  • Serve with rice (if desired) and teriyaki sauce for dipping/drizzling as desired.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients whenever possible.
  • If you don't have a grill, you can cook the kabobs in a broiler or on a stovetop grill pan.
  • To prevent the kabobs from sticking to the grill, lightly oil the grate before cooking.
  • Cook the kabobs over medium heat until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Serve the kabobs with your favorite dipping sauce, such as teriyaki sauce, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Polynesian sausage kabobs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer cookout or party. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give Polynesian sausage kabobs a try.
