Equipment

  • Bamboo Skewers

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Beef Strip Steak or Filet
  • 1 lb Pork Tenderloin
  • 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
  • 2 medium Squash
  • 2 medium Zucchini
  • 1 lb Mushrooms I like Crimini/Baby Bella
  • 1 Yellow, Red or Vidalian Onion (optional)
  • Teriyaki Sauce
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt & Pepper

Instructions

  • Soak bamboo skewers in water for at least 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut meat into equal sized pieces. Put each type of meat into its own Ziploc bag. Pour a few tablespoons of teriyaki sauce into each bag. Squeeze the air from the bag and seal. Marinate the meat in the fridge until ready to use or on the counter for 20 minutes.
  • Repeat the above steps with both the squash and zucchini.
  • Heat grill over medium to medium-high heat.
  • Line two baking sheets with foil.
  • Thread the beef on skewers, leaving a little space in between each piece of meat (if desired, you can put a slice of onion in between each piece of beef for flavor). Then, do the same with the pork and chicken. Place all the skewers on one of the foil-lined baking sheets.
  • Next, thread the zucchini onto skewers; then squash.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the mushrooms with olive oil, salt and pepper; thread onto skewers. Place all veggies on the second foil-lined baking sheet.
  • I like to grill the veggies first as they always take longer than I expect but still taste good at room temperature. Place on the grill and cook until your desired doneness. (Times will vary based on the exact temperature of your grill, the vegetables themselves, the size of your veggie pieces and your “doneness” preferences but it will probably take at least 7 minutes per side.)
  • Then, I grill the meat. This is also done to your preference; I like rare beef, pork with the littlest bit of pink on the inside and chicken cooked all the way through. (Again, times will vary due to all the… variables. Beef probably at least 5 minutes per side: Pork at least 5-7 minutes per side; Chicken at least 7 minutes per side.)
  • When done, slide everything off of the skewers, into piles, onto a big platter. Put it in the middle of the table and go crazy!
